Extreme Possessive Aggressive Puppy, Need Help?

[MysteryChicken]

We got a puppy back in October at 6 weeks. She's alot older now, & she's a stubborn, super spoiled puppy. Spoiled cuz of my dad(He doesn't listen to us).

She's a mix of Black Lab, Walker, & Coon Hound.

(Me, my Mom, & Sister are the only ones working with the beast of a puppy), literally the worst puppy we've had.

She has a box over flowing with toys, & chewies(He doesn't let her finish her first chewy, before giving another). Her diet is like almost nothing, but treats(She rarely eats her regular food).

Leash training, & potty training have been a nightmare. She gets distracted easy, & is really good at ignoring us. Hard to get her focused once her mind is set on something else. She tries to eat everything off the ground, pulls, & runs like her life depends on it, just about pulls our elbows out of joint.

(She also believes everything is hers, she tries taking stuff off of dressers, tables, etc.) She repeats her actions like a broken record.

She was doing good at one point, with letting us take things from her, or trading her for the object, then she'd get rewarded for good behavior. Now she's overly possessive, running, hiding with something, growling, snarling, & biting. She bit me good on the fingers earlier, & made me bleed alittle.

Nothing seems to work with her. Any tips, & tricks will be greatly appreciated? Thanks in advance.


I'll try to get a video the next time.

Overflow if treat bags.

Sorry about the glare, my phone camera is broken in several spots.

Sounds like dad is ruining the puppy! I'd highly recommend using a crate with her, it'll be much easier to deal with her, but sadly if dad isn't willing to change his habits not much is going to happen. Where did you get here from, and for what reason?

We were crate training her, but my dad made us stop, cuz he doesn't like the occasional tantrum she'll throw, cuz he can't ignore the noise.

My dad wanted a new dog to replace his old dog, who we had to put down, cuz he refused to take him to the vet to get a perianal tumor removed. The tumor got to the point of not allowing him to poop, he was screaming in pain, bleeding from the back end, cuz he could no longer poop. His original dog had tumor for a few years, it just grew slowly.

He had us rush to find him a new dog, with no time to prepare. He wanted a new puppy before October is over.

We got the puppy from the shelter. It was from a litter of 10 pups.

He doesn't do any training with her. I was the one who taught him how to get her to sit. That's it. Technically she's mine, mom's, & sister's dog, since we do all the work.

I'm just afraid one day, when she's pretty much full sized, she's gonna end up mauling one of us, or someone else.

You might not like my answer, but with all this back story, I say let dad deal with the mess he created. If he can't do it, then make him give the dog to you so you can clean up his mess

Ususally when you first get pup if they bite, you can poke their cheeks in so they bite themselves and realize it hurts then they will curb the biting on their own. I don't know about older dogs. My dog growing up didn't listen to the whole biting thing. He doesn't bite now, and once he got older, but man those baby teeth. One time my DH was asleep in the bed, the pup came bounding in hopped on his belly and puppy teeth sliced the outside of DH on the nose cutting it like a flap. Luckily there is no scar.

Never new about the making a puppy bite it's own cheeks. Even if I did, my dad would probably claim its cruel.
