How do i convince my parents not to give away my puppy?

He is very bad but i KNOW he will get better and my parents want to get rid of him. He loves us and i know he will be really upset if we do. My mom is angry at him because he is chewing everything and he isnt potty trained yet. What can i do or say to save him? BTW he is 6 monthes old and we've ad him for 3 monthes.How do i convince my parents not to give away my puppy?
I have no idea how old you are, but personally, it makes me sick when parents do this. That is the reason why this dog should not have been given to you in the first place....they took on that responsibility when they allowed you to have the dog. They should be stepping up as well and helping you as opposed to just saying get rid of the dog.How do i convince my parents not to give away my puppy?
Keep your puppy with you at all times when you are home. Try keeping him on a leash attached to your belt when you are home. Interrupt him when he goes to chew something with a firm ';No!'; and if he doesn't listen a quick, light grab to the side of his neck. (Just hard enough to get his attention away from what he's chewing). Take him out at least once an hour to pee, or immediately if he looks like he's looking for a place to pee. Make sure your puppy is getting LOTS of exercise. He may be chewing as part of normal puppy behavior or boredom or both. A bored dog can develop all kinds of bad behaviors.





Read up on training dogs and get him into a good obedience class if you can afford it, and show your parents you are willing to make a serious effort to ensure you have a well behaved dog. The more time you invest in training your dog, the happier you'll both be.
try to do some training get up early on a weekend and give him a bowl of water when he is done take him outside and sit with until he potties outside then give him a treat he will soon realise that if he potties outside he gets a treat everytime he pees outside and if he pees inside say NO NO or bad boy and dont give him a treat then sit him outside. as far as chewing take him to a near by PetSmart. let him pick his own chew toy if he starts chewing any thing that he's not supposed to grab the toy and wave in front of him he will soon loose intrest in what he's chewing on and want to play with the toy try to get a chewy to to satisfy his chewing needs. as for keeping him ask for one more chance to get his behavior right. thats all iv got because my mom got me a puppy for my B-Day and he was already kind of big and he jumped the fence a lot so they got rid of him to. also try watching some It's me or the dog episodes it come on animal plannet. it comes on tomarrow 10 o'clock pm about toilet training but the show also comes on earlier at like 8 but they wouldent help as much. and i think she is the best dog trainer ever.
I have a dog which we've had for about 6 months now and he was 6 months old when we got him. He chewed anything he could and we've just had to be careful not to leave things lying around for him to chew. Also, if you buy him things to chew he's less likely to chew other things in the house!





As for potty training...we potty trained our dog but you may be able to get trainers for that.





Good luck!

Train him train him TRAIN HIM. Teach him not to chew. When he does say a calm firm 'no' and put a finger on his nose. This is somewhat how his mother did it. Teach him to only go outside and clean up when he has an accident without complaining. Ask your parents for some time with him. Maybe for 6 weeks to train him. And train him to sit, stay, and all that useful stuff to convince your parents further! And if you can even start to pay for food. Walk him , feed him. Basically take responsibility of him and they might give you at least a chance.
well you could always train him to chew on only his toys and also get him a cat flap and use his chew toy to get him to go through.
Their home, their money, their decision.

I want you to show mom this...if everyone in the family helps things can turn around for your pup in a two week period. I am giving you what I do as well as give to all of my clients. I hope this helps. And let us know how it goes. I will first start with potty training and then get to the other things your pup needs to learn and how to get him going in the right direction of being a good family dog. I would also like to state that many pups get ';out of control'; when not exercised enough. I have put in some notes on how to leash train etc... Each day you should walk your dog about 20min-30min in the morning %26amp; then again in the afternoon or evening. The walk needs to be at a pretty good clip so that you are diminishing the extra energy which helps a dog to bring under control some of the mis-behavior. This does not take a dog trainer...just a dedicated, loving owner.





I put a harness on them, leash them with a retractable leash and stick the handle in my pocket. Scolding loudly or even too sternly can bring on confusion more than understanding. Wherever I go they go...even when I have to go to the bathroom...or if someone else in the family is home they tuck the handle of the leash into their pocket. This brings trust...you become a leader they can trust. It also helps you to be able to “read” her signals. Sometimes it is just a squat, sometimes they turn, other times they simply look up quickly then squat. Amid the squat, take him/her out and talk sweetly saying, “go po-T outside” repeat it until you are outside. Keep him/her on the leash so he/she does not lose his/her train of thought. Keep repeating the command as if you are saying “don’t the flowers smell sweet today”...so it becomes a pleasant thing for him/her to hear thus he/she will be more likely to listen and learn. If he/she poos inside accidentally keep him/her near you and pick it up with a paper towel. Squat down slowly and show it to him/her and say “go po-T outside”. Then take him/her out with you to put it in “his/her spot”. Do not give him/her the entire yard to go in until he/she has potty training down pat. Let his/her collection stay for a few days so he/she gets that he/she has a designated area. A lot of times they will continue to go in that area for a lifetime and it makes cleaning up a lot easier...no hunting. After he/she goes outside kneel down and pet him/her saying all the “good po-T outside” ‘s that you can stand. Over exaggerate your happiness. You can then hug him/her, rub his/her belly, clap softly when he/she finishes. Remember to keep a cool head...don’t show anger or frustration because they will not respond positively to that. You can do this...remember it takes time and consistency as well as love.





Now to bite:


Teaching Your Pup not to Bite:


Take him by the jowl on the top pinch to the bottom and shut the mouth. Say ';no, no, no, no bite'; repeat it 2x. End with a tap on the nose...nothing is to be done in a loud voice...just keep it easy yet stern. If you just keep it a teaching moment they will learn. I am guessing the little one is teething so just like children they need something to chew on. After the no bite process...hand your pup the toy of preference to chew on. Just state matter of factly ';here's your toy'; then play a bit to avert attention to the toy. He will catch on if you stay consistent and cool headed. If you teach him to sit you can just avert attention to a command then hand him the toy after the no bit command is used.





Teaching a dog to sit:


I do not use food to entice good behavior. I have them on a leash without any lead what so ever. I use a harness not a collar. (my preference-neck jerking is not good for a dog)


I tug the leash say the word sit in a stern and serious manner. I take one hand under the chin to keep his attention directed at me while the other hand pushes the rump in a sit position. I continue doing this over and over and while in the sit position say “good sit...nice job” this is repeated several times. Lift your hand off the rump...he will probably stand up immediately at first then do it all over again. Spend about 10 min. doing this, take about a 30 min. brake and do it again...do this as often as you like. If you have a 1/2 day, full day, just the one time. Do it when you get home from work/school, do it before and after dinner, before bed....you get the picture. After the sit command is learned then you can go on to leash training...or mix it up a little..your choice. Do what works for you and your dog.








Leash training your dog:


When taking a dog out for a walk first off you need to be the pack leader. SInce your dog does not fully understand this yet here is how you teach them. I always use a harness no matter how large or small the dog may be. I think pulling on a dogs throat to teach them something they will learn just as easy without that discomfort is just unnecessary. Never give
