Level, I do not know if you have been following the story or not, but suffice it to say we have been playing a horrid and delicate balancing game. Right now the relationship is in tatters. BDSM does not even factor into the equation at the moment. We split up months ago and I have been trying My best to put it back together ever since. It is My fear that although we are getting along very well and things appear to be on the up and up, one slip up at this point and she is out the door, which I really do not want (and I have put hours upon hours of heavy duty thought into it). Unfortunately the onus is on Me, which puts Me at a serious disadvantage. I want this to work out more than anything, and I am willing to make sacrifices in order to see that it does. One of them is the dog.

How unfortunate for this animal that is now a pawn in your relationship drama. Adding a puppy is not going to make things better, it will probably make things worse. One more thing to argue about, and one more thing for a woman to be emotional over.

For what little it is worth I parrot AAkasha. She KNOWS her stuff, (as usual.) I am a vet tech, have worked for multiple Humane Societies and have owned more animals than I care to admit. Educate yourself. This dog is your responsibility.

I have owned many animals in My life as well. All kinds of them. I still have My siamese whom I love to pieces as well as our other three cats. I had a wolf/malamut cross (mostly wolf), rottweiller, St Bernard/German Shepard cross. Very big dogs. I also had a Shitsu that I absolutely hated. I am no stranger to animals. It is just this one seems to be quite the handful and I did not know what to do with him.

We got a lecture from her dad about bringing the dog into the home with things being so instable, and frankly I agree with him. Try telling My wife that. The dog has been the cause of some disagreements and tension which I do not appreciate, because I do not need the added stress. She has all these great ideas, which are fine for her. I am the one home all day with the dog. I told her last night after I read this thread and My private messages that I am taking control of training the dog because I am the one home with him all day and she is to follow My lead. She said that was fine, but she would voice her objections where necessary. Hrmph.

Were you able to secure the crate and things? Are things better today, or at least do you have a plan?

I don't have any specific advice to offer you with regard to training your dog, but I do have a story to share that is rather interesting and might shed some light on your "retarded" dog.

My parents adopted from the pound a young shepherd mixed breed pup. We have always had dogs and my dad prides himself on being an excellent dog trainer. But this dog just didn't "get it" ever. She was a mess and she did things no dog ever dared do (like get up on the counters and steal food that was being prepared). She tore things up, she ran from my parents when they tried to discipline her. She messed in the house. She tore the screening out of the screen doors so she could get outside (that was the first time, the second time it was so she could get inside). She was a gorgeous dog and had a very sweet tempermant and they really wanted things to work out, but after six months of making no progress, they were ready to take her to obedience school. Well, before that happened, early one winter morning, my mother heard her on the back step barking frantically. She went out to investigate and found another young pup (a beagle/pit bull pup) that was hiding under the step, terrified, and who had been shot full of buckshot and was bleeding. My mother pulled the dog out from under the steps and the shepherd was very, very interested and acted concerned for the puppy. My parents took the dog to the vet who removed the buckshot and gave antibiotics and so forth. When they brought the puppy home, the shepherd instantly became maternal to the puppy, caring for her wounds, fussing over her as my parents tried to train the new puppy how to live in a house. The two dogs became instant best friends to each other (with the shepherd displaying a more dominant personality over the puppy). She matured over night and became almost a new dog. They have had very little problems with the shepherd since and the beagle/pit bull mix puppy has become another beloved member of their family.

How is that for interesting?

We could not get the crate today. Pay was less than we had hoped for. Boy it has been a tough few months. Anyways, today I am leaving My office door open and I have a pillow by the door for the dog. He appears to be quite happy laying there and so far there has not been any incidents.

I feel for ya, SK, I have a 6 month old puppy myself. I swore I'd never have another one, but I have "SUCKER" tattooed on my forehead.....

Amen to the crate, it's a godsend. Also to the frequent walking....it's a pain, but twice a day isn't too frequently...anything to burn off the puppy energy they all have. Also, it sounds like he may have separation anxiety. A previous dog of mine had it...along with the shit-smeared bathroom, lol. Believe me, BTDT. The crate is also a good help for that, they feel more secure there, although my dog still bellowed and carried on whenever we left him in it. But he outgrew it at about age 3 or so.

Males are harder to housebreak than females. We're getting there, but she still has relapses. Good luck, and hang in there! They do grow up eventually!

(At least mine is a Chihuahua/Pomeranian mix....about 10 lbs. Her "accidents" are small-sized!)

I must be a sadist.... I can't stop chuckling

But even thou I am chuckling... I am serious in saying ... I hope you gain control of the animal.... he likely already has established alot of bad habits that he thinks is ok. you have to not only train him now... but also break some bad habits.

Good luck... I think you already got alot of useful advice.

Ya know what?

This was a well written piece.

I could counter, but it would be redundant.

Nice.

You can't afford a crate, but you can afford a puppy? What if he has any medical issues come up? You should have a buffer in case of emergencies. Another part of research -- finding out the real cost of owning a dog.

One of many sites coming up on google that give the reality.

As for the litter box raiding....either scoop the litter box several times a day or buy one of those litter boxes that automatically scoops itself after a cat uses it. I haven't had a dog yet that didn't like to snack out of the litter box. ewwww..... Or if they find something dead outside and feel the need to roll on it. What's up with that?

All good advice here. Train the human to train the dog. He sounds just like a puppy his age and breed should. He just needs boundaries.
