I got a new dog 2 weeks ago and I've been working hard at training him. well, my mamma keeps underminding my training and rules. he lets him lick her and climb onto the couch beside her. she's letting him do practically whatever he wants when she walks him. she says, "as long as he, yourself or anyone isn't harmed. as long as other property isn't damaged and as long as other people aren't bothered, then let him run ahead." "you have a hold of the leash, so what's the problem?" "you don't want him to think that he's on this walk for you. it's for him, not you."
i don't know what to do. my step dad helps me out and is consistant with my training, but my mamma doesn't listen. when i call her on it (politely), she says, "i'm the mother and your the son. you don't get to tell me what to do!". she's driving me nuts! she won't listen to my father and well, my dog is misbehaving, because he's confused and doesn't know who to listen to.
I just needed to rant right now.
