 puppy training or boyfriend leaving?
Wow, quite a difficult situation you have there. I am sorry your boyfriend is being difficult, I love my dog, and if given the choice, boyfriend out the door. But that being said, an ill behaved dog really creates a difficult situation. Even are your dogs age, training is rather easy. Your dog, like a child, just needs to be given boundries, and a patient trainer. If your pup has been ruling the home for the last year, he will be reluctant to work with your new rules, so you will have to be patient, show what is expected and reward all efforts. Maybe your boyfriend can help with the training, that might be a good bonding experience between everyone. If housebreaking is the main issue, in order to save your relationship, I will send you a free Piddle Place if you promise to follow training instructions. (I assume you live in the US) I would hate for your to take your baby to a shelter for lack of training. I volunteer here at a shelter, and this is the main reason people drop off their dogs. These dogs have often learned bad habits, and this decreases their chance of adoption.
