isn't it funny as hell when they pull shit like that lol. but since he's new it's very important that you set boundries now. how well you train him now will determine what kind of dog he will be. and he will try to get away with as much as he can for the first 2 or 3 months. good luck...mike...
Yeah, believe me, I know. Not that I've had any children yet, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's probably similar to raising a kid. You know it's your responsibility how they turn out, and you just try your damnedest and hope for the best. But mistakes will, undoubtedly, be made because it's not easy. You don't want to be too hard on them and feel bad for yelling at them, but on the other hand, you don't have much of a choice because they'll step all over you if you don't. And my dog seems to refuse to go poop when he's on the leash. He'll go pee, but he won't poop unless I let him roam free. So it's like, what the fuck am I supposed to do? If I put him on the leash, and he doesn't go because of that, he's either going to go in the house or hold it in, which isn't good for him. But if I don't put him on the leash, he'll poop and then have me chasing him around the yard again. It's tough to know how to handle these things, it really is. But I figure, eventually, he'll end up going, even if it's in the house. And if he does that, he'll get punished for it. So hopefully, he learns.
