I’m looking after my mums animals and house while she’s gone on holiday for six weeks so I’m living here for that time , she told me all the animals were well trained and I know all the animals well and they’re amazing but she got a new dog around two years ago and he’s always outside apart from when he was a puppy but he seemed pretty well behaved .
However it’s in the middle of summer and it’s pretty hot so I can not leave the dogs outside during the day from around 10am to 4pm because It’s just way too hot , I open the back door to let them in and the new dog absolutely slams into me and goes crazy will absolutely not settle down and this is the dog she claims to be the most trained , he’s jumping up trying to get things off the counters and then hears a cat and goes crazy at the door scratching and barking and then pees everywhere .
Now the new dog has settled in with my scent and the fact I’m here properly I thought maybe it might be a new person excitement or craziness idk but it’s been a week and he’ll be calm inside laying down then will just stand up and pee everywhere even when the back doors open and when I try to take him out for wees he refuses to go outside and then goes crazy running around the house and barking , I’ve tried catching him in the act and kicking him out to finish his business telling him no but he just sits at the door barking and I’ve tried showing him the wee saying no and he just goes crazy , he won’t listen at all , everytime I open the door to let him in I get pretty much body slammed and if I do anything at all like touch something in the kitchen or move something he goes nuts at the noise not to mention everytime I try to get down the area to the cats he follows me and tries to barge past and he’s a pretty big dog plus I was told do not let him around the cats at all so it’s just annoying constantly worrying about him getting them .
When I told her he’s been peeing in the house she just said yeah he’s not used to being inside so he’s marking his scent , but he’s not sniffing anything or peeing onto anything he just stands ups and wees everywhere on the floor but I’m not a big dog person so I’m not sure , I’ve tried to stop the barging inside by telling him to sit then stay until I move out of the way and then say inside which he’s starting to get the hang of but if food is involved at all I’ll get body slammed , I have to make sure he’s somewhere else when I put his food down and then get away from the door and let him out otherwise he’ll jump onto me / bite my hands or go nuts .
I do not know what to do so any advice at all is appreciated , I’ve spoken to her about his behaviour already and all she can say is that’s how he is and he’s excited because he’s never inside .
