[quote=Anonymous]Did you read books or watch training 101 type videos and do a good amount of research prior to getting the puppy? If not, start now! 16 weeks is young and that poor dog has had way to many changes and your expectations are so high. He’s bound to fail. It sounds like you all just went out and got a puppy because it seemed like a fun idea and then expected him to be a TV commercial dog with a few paid training sessions. Getting a trainer is great but does not take away your obligations for consistent, patient training. Call a family meeting and get everyone on board with one training style that is consistent and predictable. Ditch the e-collar. He’s too young for that right now and it’s probably causing his behavior to be worse. If this is not what you expect to do, then please get him back to the breeder or rescue as soon as possible. He’s still young and can be rehomed more easily and before more behavior issues crop up. [/quote]
