Alrighty,
Since we have had Nismo, he has been a pretty good dog. Only a couple accidents and mostly because of us not being on the ball all the time. But now we are having some serious issues. I don't like to lock him up or cage him when we are gone, especially since he is "good" while we are gone. But now he is being a major butthead. Example: Sunday we wake up at 9am, go on a walk around the neighborhood. Pee and poo like normal, and come in. We play some while I cook for a pitch-in later. Noon comes around and we go on another walk before I leave. I get a call from the g/f saying Nismo woke her up at 1, she gets up to take him out and he had pee'd multiple times all over the couch (8x). He had just gone, and its just in spite since he didn't go with me. What can we do to stop this? He is now hanging out in his cage again when we are gone since we can't trust him. If you try to discipline him, he gets aggressive. He does know he did something wrong and acts as if so, yet he keeps doing it even if we yell at him. I have been giving him the cold shoulder since Sunday and he is now being all lovey-dovey and listening extra well. I know its only until I give him more leeway then he will revert back to his bad behavior. Any tips?
