Thank you so much for such a detailed, witty and full answer. I feel guilty now for my misjudgment. I never spanked him for that, but I do tend to raise my voice, when he is being overly bad. My mom has told me to speak to him in a firmer, quieter voice before. He listens to my bf more, who is an alfa. And I am his mommy, who spoils him and when mommy yells, he thinks that I am playing and continues being bad, which of course makes me even more frustrated. He has attended 3 obedience classes out of 6 that I paid for so far. But although I do our "homework", I do not believe that they really taught us anything useful yet. I will try doing my best to be consistent and patient, and checking out his "concerns" and communicating to him that I appreciate the alert, but it is ok, and he needs to go lay back down with us. |
