I sit here in my family room trying to be as quiet as possible so my dog does not hear me. She is outside sleeping in the sun. If she detects me she will run to the door and bark until I let her in. I don't mind her inside ... if she didn't chew up all the furniture or stopped jumping on me or the kids when we're just hanging out on the couch.
Walking/running with her is a freakin nightmare! I walked her to the vet yesterday and she yanked me so hard that I freaking fell on the ground. Really! My bag fell to the ground and I was on my hands and knees with my five year old asking if I was okay.
She is not a stupid dog (although that might be what I mutter when I talk about her to my husband). After that day with the trainer, I actually was able to teach her to sit on command in one day. She listens about 75% of the time. I'm continuing to go over it with her, and I'm also now working on "down" with her.
Honestly though? I'm about ready to give up.
