hey everyone. there is a 21 week old springer spaniel puppy in my household. not my dog, not my decision. but he's here and i want him to succeed.
I work from home, and I'm usually the first one awake in the morning, so if he need to pee in the morning it falls to me to bring him outside. we don't have an enclosed space where he can free roam, so I have him on a leash. I only have so much time between when I get up and when I have to start work, and the pup would lay outside all day if we let him. So when it's time to go inside (especially as it's getting colder now and I don't enjoy being thrust outside first thing in the morning), he resists and gets frustrated and takes out that frustration by jumping and biting at me.
what can I be doing to get him to come inside peacefully? I've been trying to bribe him inside with treats, but he's started getting jumpy and aggressive with my treat bag too. I would like to stop getting attacked. thanks 🙏
