Is it normal i’m frustrated with our new puppy?
Let me get this straight: I LOVE DOGS. And I was excited to get a new one, but ever since we got him on the first he’s been a real pain in the ass! It’s like he views the whole world as his chew toy, he chews on EVERYTHING, least of which the toys HES SUPPOSED TO CHEW, and most of all MY HANDS!
He’s in the midst of potty training and I’ve lost track of how many times he’s peed in the house. We have to put him in his crate when he does and he makes the most obnoxious whining sound I’ve ever heard! And he keeps trying to hump me and my family members (god I hope he gets fixed soon!)
What’s a really frustrating occurrence, is when my grandma (who can’t hear shit) comes out of her room and pets him and keeps calling him a good boy, when throughout the day he’s just been biting and whining and peeing everywhere (and if you think I’m exaggerating about my grandma not being able to hear shit, she always compliments me on how quiet I make him and how she didn’t hear him all day, when I’ve put him in his crate multiple times that day and he whined so loud you could hear him from outside the house!)
I feel like a parent who keeps asking their kid “why can’t you be more like your brother/sister” since my old dog was so well behaved by comparison. I hope he’ll improve when he gets older, but in all brutal honesty I’m starting to wish we never got him (the worst part is that my sisters really wanted him more than me and they left him to me for most of the day).
