[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, why did you get a puppy if you were not prepared to train it? :roll: [/quote]

Be easy on the OP.  Some dogs are very difficult and don't fit in to the existing family dynamics.   [/quote]

Then perhaps the OP should have done more research and learning before getting a dog of any kind.  We plan on getting a dog in a year and I am learning everything I can on training, the type of dog (and if mixed breed the various types), and family dynamic with a puppy.  A dog is not just an animal to add to your family on a whim.  Just because you talk it for walks and to the dog park does not mean it will automatically behave.  I grew up with dogs, have owned my own dog (who unfortunately passed away early) and I still feel the need to refresh myself with everything before hand. [/quote]

Walk a mile in someone's shoes...You sound so self-righteous. Get over yourself and practice some empathy. I also grew up with dogs, researched ad nauseum, adopted an older puppy...and had similar issues as the OP. We're sticking it out. Unless your name is Cesar Millan, take a seat and try to be more understanding. And good luck to you, since everything will turn out rosy in your situation, obviously.[/quote]

I don't expect everything to turn out perfect.  Not by any means.  However, OP sounds like quite a few people I know who got their puppies on a whim and did not do much research into it.  They also did not do much training with them either.  I will take back everything I said and admit I was wrong and acting self righteous if OP spends at least 30 minutes a day, aside from the walks, working with her dog.  When I was younger, we adopted a 1 year old Lhasa Apso from the shelter.  She was trouble.  Ran away all the time, chewed everything, dug out the potted plants that were on any surface she could jump on.  My mom sent her to doggie boot camp and it made A huge difference.  Training, a lot of the time, can help.  [/quote]
