Hello everyone things were going so much better with radar and I am not sure what happened but he has started to bully our son again not as often or as much but it is still happening we are nil if at home. radar isn't crate trained I plan on crate training to see if that helps him but his nostrils are really tight and I am nervous he will get to hot or excited. May 11 he is getting a nose job so after that we can get started. what I need most is how do we show radar we are all top dog and he is not, best way to crate train a 18 month old, radar goes to the in laws during the day and grandpa as 0 rules I need to get him to follow house rules how do I tell him without it blowing up in my face and it will i wont go into details but i could have strangled him for his comments will radar be ok at home alone? In the summer I can come home for lunch and spend 30 minutes with him. I am sure that I could find someone to come to the house and during the winter. I am also looking to see if anyone has any good trainers in the sw central IA area. I know that I have totally screwed him up, I try so hard to be strong until he goes to sleep and then I just sit in my chair crying. I love him and I want to fix him I know that we missed a beat somewhere and Mr schedule caught it. Any advice on trainers tips ideas crate training will be much appreciated, anything. I have failed so far but I am hoping it's not to late to turn things around
