I am at my wits end with my dog. I swear I have a dog with some sort of form of dog ADHD...
He's six months old. He's smart but stubborn and hyper as all ...BLAH.
I've crate trained him (took to that like a fish to water) but the moment he's out of the crate he's wreaking havoc. He knocks the kids over, he pees on the floor where he stands (even caught him trying to pee on the door frame the other day), he eats the garbage despite several bazillion times of correcting him. He grabs food off the table and counter like he owns the joint (again a bazillion corrections and he still is stubborn).
I say he's stubborn because he knows he's in the wrong the moment he gets caught by one of us doing something he's not suppose to, he hangs his head and gives me the "crud I've been caught" look. He ate a dozen and a half cookies (homemade) two weeks ago right off the plate off my very high counters. Just scarfed as many as he could before getting caught doing it.
I don't know what to do. He potties outside perfectly fine but purposely will take a pee at our feet randomly ...is it spite? Is it stubbornness? WTH is going on with this dog...
I'm so frustrated right now. This morning one of the kids makes the school lunches and this dog goes and scarfs all the sandwiches while my kid turns him back to get something. Right off my kitchen table. I've even caught this dog ON the kitchen table (he's freaking 90lbs, this dog is going to break my piddly little kitchen table).
He ate my pool tubes, he ate my kids barbies and dolls, he ate one shoe (he's lucky it was just one shoe, I hate shoe eating), he eats kids poop out of the toilet...sigh. I'm really starting to hate this dog...that's not good...not healthy...for either him or me.
