Thanks for the help guys. I checked on Luke and he seems to be okay. My mom claims she still cares for him and stuff, but idk.
I'll try to get a hold of the book, dands, but here is the thing. My mom has had quite a few pets. And each and every time she trained them, she would use spanking. She's been doing it for years, but no matter WHAT I TELL HER, she will not change her ways. She's just too stubborn. I've even showed her a magazine with training without spanking in it, and she refused to even look at it. She claims she knows what she's doing, and she'll never lose control and kill him (i guess she just forgot about the threat she made a couple of hours back though) but like i said, she's pretty stubborn. She thinks if she tries the method you guys have suggested, the dog will not be trained and just pee all over her house.
Also, Luke was pottytrained prior to all these little accidents. I still suspect UTI, but knowing mom she won't take the dog to the vet unless he shows some major symptoms.
So, i guess I need some advice to train my mom:/ how do i get he to listen to me? I'm only 16, so she just thinks i'm just a bundle of gulliable hormones. (Also, I can't show her this post. I'll get in some maaaajor trouble.) |
