You need a behaviorist not a trainer to train the dog to sit, stay, etc. Someone who can show YOU how to behave to illicit the right responses from your dog. It sounds like there is a huge gap in communication between the dog and the occupants of the household. If the trainer cannot explain the behavior, ask for your money back. That excuse from the trainer is lame.
It's always a good idea to rule out medical conditions. So, if you've done that, great.
However, you do not go into detail about what YOU or others do when the dog bites, or poops or does anything else undesirable.
Do you scold it, ignore it, yell at it, praise it?
As I said before, we are partly responsible for our dogs behavior and once we admit that, it is normally easier to work towards results compassionately and effectively. |
