Hello kkbus, I feel your pain, I do. I still am having difficulties and I dont know where to turn. I want to enjoy my dog and right now I am not. Have you considered hiring an obedience trainer? I am thinking about doing it so I can nip this in the butt now. Molly was raised poorly, and spoiled and now I am dealing with the ramifications of it. I have tried all the things you described below and i also bought a 3 foot by 3 foot playpen....which she proceeded to jump out of! I think it may be too soon for crate training for Molly. She eliminated in her crate last week, which I believe is a bad sign and true indication of separation anxiety. I have tons of friends who have dogs and have the same limitations as me (such as work all day) and they seem to be pulling this off! What am I doing wrong! |
