My parents got a German Wirehair pointer puppy on New Year’s and I’m currently living at home and work from home so I get to be with it all day while my parents are at work. For the first week I could not work my full hours because I was constantly picking up or cleaning pee or letting him outside every 30 minutes (only for him to still pee and pop inside).
My parents are very simple people. They’re 63 & 62 years old, and have never had their dogs professionally trained. My dad is the type to slap his dog if he is misbehaving bad enough and you better not try to tell him that’s bad otherwise you may be in for an hour long red in the face argument where all of your previous failures in life get mentioned.
My dad is a mechanic and hates his job at this point and when he gets home he showers and sits down and basically does not get back up. When he gets home I take my personal time to do what I need to do alone considering it is his dog after all and he’s home so he should be happily taking care of it. Well instead he just lets it piss on the floor because he doesn’t want to go outside because his legs hurt and he’s honestly just lazy. But then when he finds the piss he screams at the dog BUT STILL DOESNT TAKE HIM OUTSIDE!
I’m at my wits end I don’t know what to do. I’m trying to help train this dog the right way but it just feels helpless as this point.
I guess any suggestions I would appreciate idk why I even made this post honestly I’ll prolly just get dragged in the comments.
