Dogs are weird..

[Cowgirl]

OK, my dog has been grounded for three days. I've had him for months and he hasd been great about not going potty in the house.. Suddenly, about two eeks ago, he's decided to piddle and poop on the carpet.

I put him outside on the run after he pooped on the carpet and I had a rug on the back porch. The little turd goes to the bathroom on the rug, not one but FIVE times in a row!!

WTF?

And why, oh why does he want to run away everytime he get's loose.. Not just going for a run or running around the yard for half an hour. but he wants to disappear for hours!!

GRR!!

You need to walk him on a leash every single time you let him out. Walk him to the grass and say, "go potty." Once he does, praise him. Do this EVERY TIME or else he won't learn where it's appropriate to potty. As for running away, you need to walk him on a leash (which will help with the first problem) or fence your yard. :shrug: He's a beagle. Their noses get them in trouble. Imagine how badly you'd feel if he got hit by a car the next time he gets loose.

HOnestly.. Every time he runs off I cuss him like a dog.








I have two acres and I rent so there's no fencing it in.. His kennel is large and his run is over 50 feet. It's sufficient.

I don't get why he's done so well then all of a sudden starts crapping all over the house.

Great. That'll make him come home.

Then how is he running away if he's in his run?

<----- Learn it.

You know what. Never mind.. The freakish animal zealots have already started in..

####ing retards.

The dog can wrestle away from me, not to mention my daughter, who is the actual owner of the dog. But whatever, don't bother giving me anymore ignorant advice.

I'm up two coffee's and a double espresso.. You wanna tangle with me?

Can someone give me an explantaion as to why my dog will carry his food the carpet, piece by piece to eat it?

He will sit at feet and whine while I cook, but if I offer anything to him, he won't sit unless I go in the living room.

WTH?

Have you ever seen a wolf pack eat from a carcas? They take a portion away, eat it and return for another portion etc... it's pack instinct. My shepherd/greyhound mix does the same thing. But my chi doesn't. I had the same question..."why?" Then I read "The Loved Dog" (excelent book) and learned quite a bit about pack instinctual like behavior. I highly recomend the book to anyone who wants to learn about why these silly dogs to the things they do.

Something you said made me laugh. My daughter got a dog the christmas before last. For about four mounths she went on and on about how she was the owner Now 1.3 years later I let him out bring him in feed him and fill the water bowl and of course he's right up in the bed with me everynight imagine that. Now my son wants his own pet. Help I say Help!!!

I got this book that says it's pretty pointless to start training a dog until it's at least 18 months old
Nah.

I never knew dog's could be so arrogant.. The little bugger steals shoes right off the kids feet and runs around with it for 20 minutes. Taunting us.

He's my first real pet in years. He comes when I call him and fetches like a champ after only a month or so of working with him. But ONLY in the house. Outside, it's grab and GO!
That's why I put up the extra long run, so I can play with him and not have to have him on a leash.
As for the strange way he eats. He's getting over that a little. He's very skittish, and hates the hardwood floors. He also hates to be alone and cries when I kennel him.
