Hey everyone- I'm having some issues with my Oliver-
He's 6 months only as of today and going through some "terrableness"
He has been a really easy puppy- for the most part- training wise! HE was fully litterbox trained at about 2 months so I don't have much to complain about. He just recently stopped attacking feet (HURRAY) and he knows what NO means and (usually) listens.
BUT
lately he has this thing for the stairs. He NEVERS has a pee accidnet- but poo is another thing- he and the stairs have this secret pact to KILL ME! I, honestly, watch him like a HAWK when we are downstairs but he sneaks on there and does it so fast. My boyfriend picked him up today before he even squated but before he made it to the litterbox with him Oliver had *ahem* "dropped" his droppings already....
And he's getting weird about me picking him up- he scuddles away like he's scared and hides underneath my bed and barks at me. I've never hit him, and am always the one to feed, clean up, teach him tricks, etc. so I don't know why he is handshy around ME!
Could it be because he is teething?? (he has many doubles... any guess to when any will fall out?)
I'm stuck here... I know it'll pass (I HOPE)... but please join my support group and bring me mint chocolate chip icecream in the meantime! THANKS YT!
