My puppy is one years old and for the first 6-7 months I could accept all of the “bad” behaviour because I thought she would grow out of it.

We’re at one year old, her behaviour is still really challenging and I can’t bear to be around her.

She doesn’t add anything positive to my life and I can’t see it getting better any more. I put so much work into her and get nothing back. The thought of having to live with this for the next 10+ years is miserable.

Hey everyone. I recently rescued a mixed belgian malinois. Shes about 3.5 – 4 month old and I've got her to understand that she needs to pee on her pads but she still misses from time to time or has accidents on the floor. Can anyone give me any tips on how I train her to have better potty discipline? Its honestly so frustrating cleaning after her time after time despite paying for the pads

I’m confused. My puppy will go a week or so without an accident, i start to feel comfortable and say that he’s potty trained and then boom an accident lol

We have a 14 week old Golden Retriever who seems to respect me (M50) but doesn’t not respect my partner (F53) and my son (M17). My partner works from home and generally she sits on the couch with her laptop but our puppy is always biting her legs and feet. My partner has tried ignoring it then praising when she stops but it’s hard to ignore being bitten. She bits my partners feet and my sons feet whenever they walk everywhere too, but she doesn’t do it to me. I gather it’s cause I have a deep voice whereas my partner and sons is high pitched so no matter what my partner says to her she continues to do it until she is put in her crate. I feel helpless as I’m at work til 7pm and by then our puppy is winding down and my partner is upstairs crying. What else can my partner do? We feel we have made a big mistake with her.
