I need serious help with my dog. She is driving me up the wall.
My dog "acts" well trained and behaved when I am there in the room with her. But the moment I leave the room she does bad things.
The two biggest issues right now is that she gets into the litter boxes or the cats food.
She obviously knows she isn't allowed to do it because she won't if I am around. But literally the moment I leave the room she does it! Even worse she will do it when my husband is around too and apparently he can't watch her. sigh
I am not able to block it off. I have an elderly cat who isn't able to jump/climb and the dog is smaller than the cats.
How do I train her not to get into the litter box/cat food?
And how do I train her that the rules still apply even when she isn't being watched?
I see so many ppl always bragging that their dogs are so well behaved and like they don't need to be crated or locked up when the people are not home. So there has to be a way to train dogs to know the rules right?
