Some of you may remember my DD bringing home a blk lab pup that was dumped.The vet said she was close to 4 mos,according to her teeth.She was under her weight n appeared to have been abused.Well she is now 5 mos,has all her shots and very healthy.
1.now pottied trained
2.does on command;sit,paw,down n up
3..Plays well w/other dogs
4.She jumps up and puts her paws on the counters;stealing my dish towels.I have scolded her w/out success
5.DS didnt push kitchen chair in and she went from the chair onto kitchen table.I came back into the rm,scolded her n ds took her down(nothing was even on the table)
NEED HELP W/STAY,come and CHEWING!!!!!!
For the stay;I have had her sit,put my flat hand infront of her saying stay n walking backwards..She will stay for 3 of my steps..Ive done this over n over..n over..no success.She has even run out the door and doesnt listen to come all the time.Inside,she does but if in the yard,she will keep running.Its been years since Ive done this puppy thing...WHAT ELSE CAN I DO????
Im very patient and I use a firm strong voice for the "no" I also praise her n give her treats n kisses for the "good girl"( I am irritated w/d.d who did a good thing bringing her home,but now w/school n work her time is limited..She of course thinks the friend time is more important than"puppy time/responsibility.)I however can NOT give her away,she is a sweet baby.Yes Ive shared this w/D.D. and she has tried harder to help w/pup.,She is paying the vet bills too and the spade which is next mos
For the chewing part;
I have given her chew toys and raw hides a plenty.She has chewed my wash room molding and several other things.When left, it is a short time frame n is left w/other dogs who dont do any chewing.Plenty of toys..(NO Crate) Asked DH to get ours from the rafters in the shed;no luck w/that yet..
What else can I do for the chewing ????
Thank you for advice
