Here is my whole story....

I am a business owner that requires Federal Licensing and I'm very conscientious about having my name or relative information about me in a public spectrum, so I operate under anonymity whenever I can. I wouldn't be hard for somebody with a poor opinion or vindictive nature to try and rock the boat or cause me extensive grief in my business or personal life due to the nature of my business.

I am, point in fact, here for help because of many suggestions to seek advice from experienced people and not just some blanket operative listed on sites as a general training or advice. I want to fix this dog because I want to see it act normal and not tear up my things or stain my carpet/furniture. The dog is adorable and it is smart as can be. It knows when it goes to the bathroom on the floor that it did wrong. It KNOWS when it does something wrong, yet through all my avenues of trying to train, it resists.

I am convinced that my fiance doesn't hold the schedule and she doesn't reinforce my training attempts because it seems like the dog has the attitude of "mom lets me get away with it, so why should I listen to you."

I DON'T HATE THIS DOG!! I want to see many years of life from this dog and I want it to be a part of the family as a whole. I want my fiance to train and act in a way that is moving towards this dog behaving like a dog should. I want to take pictures of this dog sleeping with my children. I want to see this dog interact with other dogs and not fight with them (like it does with other dogs). I want to see this dog happy - bottom line.

I don't want to see it gone. I don't want to see my fiance sorrowed by this dog anymore. I don't want to walk in from a late night in the library and see her bent over the bathtub and washing out the crate at 2am and bathing the dog because it pooped in the crate anymore.

All I want is a dog that acts like a behaved dog should. Bathroom outside, well tempered inside.

If Ladyjane or anyone can't read this and understand - then so be it. Lack of ability to read or comprehend the posts is a problem only those who are confused or challenged have to deal with.

If I didn't care, I wouldn't be here. If I didn't want help, I wouldn't be wasting time here. If I liked hitting the dog, I'd just hit it and not be here asking for the proper alternatives. If I wanted to call animal control, it would be easier to dial the 10 digit number than type the thousands of words I did.

Please don't ridicule the previous actions of a person with low experience with dogs under 10 pounds and help this person know where to go from here.

If you wish me to leave, then tell me to leave and I'm not worth helping. If you wish me to stay, let's start developing solutions so I can help the dog and help my fiance...all of which helps me too - which is why I'm here in the first place.
