Bailey has become soooo arrogant! she has been a dream since we got her at 9 weeks old eager to learn and please, and brilliant with my young children untill recently!
At first the only problem was potty training she wouldn't pee any where but our floor!! so we decided to try crate training her at 6 months old, which worked!
but it seems like since iv been putting her in her crate at night she has lost all respect for me, she totally ignores me, and seems to do everything she has learnt not to do! like chewing things up if i walk out the room, and hiding them when i walk back in, ignoring my commands like "NO" "STAY" ect before the crate she'd only chew her toys (she knew what not to chew) and wouldn't jump up on the sofa, but now she gets on the sofa and when i tell her to get down (a command she use to obey) she just ignores me! she's also started jumping up at my son, knocking him to the floor!
Walks have also become a nightmare, whereas she use to walk very well and always paid attention to any commands she now jumps up at every single person we pass, especially young children and is very forcefull when i try to stop her, she becomes absolutely manic and trys to pull me to the floor by biting and pulling at her lead running back and forth until i am on the floor! and once again ignores all the commands she use to happily obey!
Im at the end of my tether with her, i have put alot of time into training her and it seems that in a blink of an eye it has all gone to waste! even though i am keeping at it, i don't think she'll ever go back to being the well behaived dog she was!
If anyone has any ideas i would be EXTREMELY gratefull, as my husband is threatening to re-home her, and that would break my heart!
