Training my dumbass dog

[asmo]

Send him to me for a week. My dogs will get him used to the pack concept and show him what is acceptable and what isn't.

99% of the time its the humans `fault`, not the dogs. You are in charge, not the dog. You are the product of 400 million years of successful evolution - fricken act like it.

i think that the biggest thing and one thing that sucks about getting them at the pound is having them since they are a pup (6-8 weeks) both of my dogs are high energy breads and they can both be left around the house all day and not damage anything...good luck

p.s. ive heard decent things about sit means sit

My dad always said put em a potato sack, tie it off and through em in the river. If they get out, then you have a good dog.

That is a sticky situation and sucks big time I've been in the exact spot before. I picked up a lab mix to keep my Chocolate lab busy while I was working 12 hour days. I had a place outside of Kremmling on 2 acres so plenty of room for the pups to run and play all day.

My boy is a Rockstar and doesn't mess with anything at all. The new pup I brought home did the same thing your pup is and chewed the crap out of everything. She had a whole acre that was fenced to play in and what does she do??? Chews on the damn house and anything that wasn't nailed down.

Fell asleep on the couch with her out one day and woke up to see that she had just destroyed a near new pair of Asolo 350.00 hiking boots. She wasn't 3 feet away from me the whole time. I tried everything to curb her bad habits and I too put up with it for just under a year. I was fortunate and found someone that took her off my hands so she wouldn't have to go back and be put down.

I love my dog, I've had him since he was 3 months old and he's almost 10 now but at the end of the day he's still a dog. It's not worth feeling like a hostage in your own home and the stress of him possibly biting someone.

As much as it sucks I would take him back......

Find a neighbor kid to take him on a few mile run every day? For a few bucks, some aspiring young athlete might take you up on it.

My friend has a Husky mix that would destroy anything he could get a hold of. After the first year or so he calmed down and stopped destroying stuff.

Keep working on crate training. Make sure you're not making the crate a punishment. The crate needs to be a happy place.

Its simple. When you're not home keep in him a crate until he is trained.

When you are home make sure things are picked up and he wont have the ability to destroy anything.

He is a pup and he is oreney. He will grow out of it.
