If you cared about the dog you would give him up or go to class. Did a previous boyfriend give this dog as a gift? I don't believe you can give him up or you would. You aren't intrested in going to class. This thread is a trainwreck.
For people that care. Walking a dog is not about exercise exclusively. If that's all it was for then you could put them on a tread mill for 5 minutes to burn energy. The reason you walk a dog on a lead is to stimulate them mentally. Expose them to new sights, sounds, experiences, establish pack ranking in a neutral territory. It's the best way to reestablish pack ranking on a daily basis. You cannot do this without the lead. Without the lead, you are giving up pack ranking. Bonding with the dog is work but it's something many of us find rewarding. You can't put little effort into it and expect a big result. You must establish trust.
As I've said many of times. You need class. You haven't put anything into this bitch except hurting her. The very least you can do is take her to class to learn how to correct this. You will not get it here. You are looking for more short cuts. There aren't any. There are too many things that need to be done. People are giving you so many bits and pieces, you need a simple structure that involves a new plan in your home. Please take her to class. You've upset me. Sitting on a keyboard asking for ideas isn't enough, do something. You don't hit yorkies. They don't deserve this. I've been bit many times. Hitting hasn't ever crossed my mind. This is horrible. |
