I believe my puppy is trying to drive me crazy. She is the cutest little thing. Her name is sugar because at one time we thought she was so sweet. She is a yellow lab and about 3 months old. She is not so sweet anymore. She is an inside dog and we are having quite a time getting her potty trained. She will go to the door sometimes but if you don’t get her right then she will wet. Then other times she will just pee where ever she is. But that is not actually the part that is driving me crazy. She will chew on anything and I do mean anything. She tries to chew the trim off of my walls! She loves underwear and not the clean ones either! She only weighs about 15 pounds right now so she’s pretty small but she can jump up in the kitchen and grab stuff off the cabinets. We have never fed her people food but I guess she knows that she would like it because she is always trying to get our food when we are sitting at the table. One night we were eating dinner and could hear her at our feet and looked down and she was chewing the table leg! If you get on to her she will look at you with those sad little puppy dog eyes like, what?? Did I do something wrong?? Then at other times she knows she is doing wrong and she has something she is not supposed to and as soon as you get up to take it away from her she runs with it. She is really fast too! She also likes to hide under whatever she can get under. I guess she likes confined spaces but she does not like her kennel so I don’t know what that is about. I think we are going to have to get her into obedience school or I am going to be completely gray headed. We have had other labs before but not with the personality that this one has or the chewing habit that she has. She is certainly a challenge and since I work from home, I am the one that gets to take care of her most of the time. I really think we should have named her Marley from the movie. She looks just like he did and she does a lot of the same things like he did. She is just out of control sometimes! I am hoping that she will grow out of it before I completely lose it!

She sounds just like my dog. She is one and is still won't potty outside. She is a yorkie and from the books I have read, they say they are the hardest breads to train. So I know exactly what you are going through. The good news is that she stopped chewing after 4 months. Dogs are great to have and I wouldn't give up mine for anything. You did very well on the writing assingment. Wow 434 words that is amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour post makes me laugh because my puppy in a sense is the same way, he is potty trained though he is a little over a year old, but hes a jack Russell boarder collie mix, and is about 45 lbs. He is just a big baby though the whole time i was trying to do my blog post he was on me trying to get me to throw his rope, and when me or my husband are eating he sits there and stairs at you and just whines waiting for you to share. All puppy's are a pain in the butt, but we still love them all the same.
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Jung Chang. Only 3 months? Sugar is a baby! She might be so cute. How long have you trained her? When I was young, I trained my dog for 2 months, and that she pee or poop at her bathroom. You should keep going to train sugar.
ReplyDeleteI am in the same boat! My dog Izzy is a baby, and it's a mess! I consider it life learning experience. She is finally getting to the point of understanding the way things work, but up to this point it was a nightmare. Hang in there, it gets better!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention Marley, I actually sit down and watched it for the first time the other night. If your puppy is anything like Marley I feel for you. She sounds like a handful. I wish you the best of luck with her.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention Marley, I sit down and watched it for the first time the other day. If your puppy is anything like Marley I sure feel for you. But in the end, Marley ended up being a very important part of there family, so I hope that will happen here as well.
