Please help - I hate my dog!
She is a pug, 2 years old. We got her at 12 weeks and we thought it was a reputable breeder but found out it was probably a puppy mill. She is very passive-aggressive and has dominance issues. Pugs are usually very friendly but she is TERRIFIED of other people, even friends who are calm and quiet who come over all the time. She will bark at them, then run and hide under the couch. When they leave, she waits until my husband and I aren’t looking, then pees on the couch or chair where they were sitting. We can’t let her in our bedroom because she will pee on the bed. We have started crating her when people come over and at night, but it hasn’t helped. The second she’s let out and we turn our backs, she pees on something. She is pad-trained and knows where to potty, this is just territorial marking. Also, she is extremely aggressive towards our other dog and our cats. If we try to pay attention to one of them, she goes crazy and attacks them. She will obey me (and only me) when I give her a direct command but that is it. She rarely obeys my husband because he is not a dominant personality. She is always humping his leg. He just ignores her even though I tell him not to let her do that. If he’s reading or whatever he just doesn’t notice. I have always been an animal lover but I HATE THIS DOG. I am so tired of the couch getting peed on, if an article of clothing or a towel or a plastic bag or a freaking piece of paper falls on the ground she will instantly pee on it too. She crapped right in front of the door today and I stepped in it when I got home from the grocery store. Our other dog is perfectly behaved and obedient. I just cannot take it any more. I even called the guy from Bark Busters in our neighborhood and he didn’t have a clue what to do with her. I am tired of pee everywhere and having to shout to get her to do what I tell her. I am tired of her chasing away the cat when he tries to sit on my lap. SHE IS RUINING MY LIFE. Please please help, if I can’t fix these issues we will have to get rid of her and I swore I would never abandon an animal but I just can’t take it anymore.
