When i got a dog, i new i would one day be getting a full time job. I planned to crate him while i wasnt home and obviously provide lots of exercise before and after.
Well i live with my bf and his grandma lives upstairs. We got a corgi puppy who i took to work for the first few months because i worked at a barn. When the season ended i got a part time job. The plan was to crate him ( he was crate trained by that time) and my bfs grandma would take him out during the middle of my shift for a potty break. Well she ended up just staying with him in our living room the entire time. My bf wouldnt let me tell her not to stay with him, so i let her. I figured it was fine. Well now i may have gotten a full time job, and his grandma doesnt want to look after him anymore. But now here is my problem. Whenever he was in the crate and we werent home, apparently she would take him out, and now he wont stay more than an hour without howling at the top of his lungs and she comes and takes him out! She completely ruined his training and now i cant fix it because if he howls at all she just takes him out. I tell her not to but she does anyways. I thought about putting a lock on the crate but i know she will just sit in the room so he doesnt howl, which is still giving him attention. He also goes crazy whenever he sees her and just starts jumping all over her, and i told her this is bad behaviour and the no look no touch no eye contact rule but she still comes and pets him while im trying to calm him down. I stopped saying anything because i get so angry so i just leave. But now i have no idea what im going to do! I cant crate him while im at work, i cant leave him out because he destroys things when hes bored, and i dont have a fenced yard. My bf doesnt want to keep him in tbe yard even when it does ge lt fenced because he is worried something will happen. Idk what to do
