GAHHHH!!! im getting very stressed out here!

The dog needs to be trained to stop jumping and get out of peoples faces. That is your job. No child is going to be able to do that. Your mom needs to learn how to train and control the dog as well. If she cant or wont then the best option is to find the dog another home. Its not fair to the dog or the child the way the situation is now.

Agreed! It sounds as if your mother is the one who is really stressed and this should be important to you. You can always have your "dream dog" when you are an adult with your own place, but this time with your mother is precious. If the dog and its behaviors are stressing her to this degree, I suggest you rehome the dog and try the breed once again when you are more mature about training your selected breed and it won't give your mom migraines to have the breed in her home. It's obvious she is frightened and this should be top priority to you, whether you feel it is justified or not.

There's obviously a lot of stress surrounding this dog and because of the dog. Whether Cesar has beahvioral issues at this time or not the stress he's under because of mixed signals in your home will bring out the worst in him. He's not even 18 months old yet, when he gets to that age every negative behavior he has, trained or not, will become more pronounced and the stress will affect him more at this time. Mentally at approximately 18 months of age dogs brains mature and they start thinking and developing adult dog behaviors. Your Mother will really complain then.

If I were you I would start crating him when he is being a nuisance, umbillicle him to you so that you can consistently teach him exactly what his behavior should be-- that leaves no guessing for him to do. He's at a good age to start expecting a lot more from him. He's got the brain, so take advantage of it before you have to re-home him. Sounds like a good project for a new dog trainer.

hes very gentle with kids and doesnt jump up on any one else ive had him around 1 year old babies who standing face to face with him and he doesnt get into there faces to lick or sniff even if they have food on there faces. he is very gentle with children but its my nephew who taught Cesar to jump up on him. cesar has no issues other then what my nephew encourages. and since im not allowed to discipline my nephew i take Cesar away with me into my room.
ive decided that from now on while my nephew is here (he spends several days a week at his dads) i will stay in my room with him (my room is the basement a full sized basement the size of a 2 bedroom apartment) cesar is an amazing dog especielly for his age he is not hyper or very excitable and listens better then any dog ive ever met people who meet him cannot belive how young he is becuase of how well behaved he is.

im not giving him up becuase my mom is parinoid. she never complains about my sisters little toy poodle who really DOES snap at my nephew if she has a bone or if he touches her ears (she sufferd from ear infections as a puppy and now is protective of her ears) she has drawn blood on him thats the dog she should be complaining about.
seriosuly im going to get a video of Cesar to put up here being around little babies and children to show you how mellow and gentle he is around kids i bet none of you would belive hes not even a year old yet
if hes getting playful with any other dog all i have to say is "Cesar thats enough" and he will stop playing to walk over to me. (and no he is not lethargic he is healthy hes had his heart and kidneys tested the biggest issues for BT)

i just needed to rant she did this with my cats too my whole life if my cats so much as left the room without my noticing she would scream at me "GO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT PEEING ON SOMETHING!!" with my 3 cats i had to always have atleast 5 litter boxes to clean every day more often then not 4 of those 5 boxes wouldnt have been touched but i still had to clean them. my sister on the other hand owned one of those cats and the second was supposed to be both of ours she NEVER had to clean any litter boxes OR follow them around for that matter.

when i was 13 i had adog that was originally my sisters dog but i took her well my sister got a yorkie and refused to potty train it ruined the carpetting in her bedroom i mean nearly ruined the floor my mom never talked to her about it never told her how disgusting it was nothing but if my dog so much as tore up a little piece of paper i was CHEWED out about how awful my dog was. i REFUSE to give up a great dog that i adore becuase she needs a reason to complain if she wants to complain she can complain to my sister about properly training her OWN dog
