[quote=Anonymous]So the talking/moving doesn't bother me. The biggest red flag is him invading the dog's space. We don't touch dogs outside without pausing and asking the owner. And never while they are using the bathroom. The tree climbing I'd ignore. He either learned a lesson, or he didn't, but he doesn't seem bothered so what's the problem? The yelling while you're on the phone is not ok, but I would have asked the phone to hold one minute while I asked him to go outside or while I put myself in a room with a lock. Then an appropriate consequence would be given for not listening. I'd also look for opportunities to be silly and wild with him. He may be looking for some connection that he's not getting otherwise. Exercise him like he's a small puppy. He needs to get worn out.[/quote]
