How to correct dog behavioral issues like OCD?

The dog is not insane. Maybe some poor genetics going on and very possibly a urinary tract infection and has she been spayed?!

The dog has:

~1) No attention

~2) No exercise

~3) No training

So what would you like to do about this dog considering almost ALL its problems are the fault of the HUMANS?

Thanks to your daughter, this dog will take a long time to repair. I know everyone is saying to give the dog away, but that should only be the case if:

1.) you're never home

2.) you lives in unadiquit conditions for the dog, (I.e, small yard, little room in the kitchen, or anywhere else it's kept.)

3.) after you've done everything you could

Okay, so this dog is obviously a wreck, because of your daughter, and the fact you've been caging and confining it it's entire life. I did cage my puppy at night, but only for the first four months. We also kept my puppy in the kitchen during that time as well, but we had a huge, open kitchen. she would run around and play, and we also put down newspaper, which I think anyone would think to do.. So, your dog needs much help. You either need to spend more time with this dog, or get a trainer to help you. Where is everyone when the dog does this? Does anyone sit there and watch her do it? This dog is obviously lonely, and bored so therefore it acts out. When you get a puppy you need to spend as much time as possible with it. Obviously, you did not. The puppy needs to be used to people as well, so sometimes if no one is in the house, them suddenly all these people appear, it will get scared and hide, or act out. So get a trainer and spend more time with this dog. If you really can't do either, I'm afraid to say, it wouldn't be fair to the dog, and your best option would be to give up the dog. I wish you luck, and I hope it all goes well.

This poor dog is "insane" because she is confined most of the time, receives little attention, gets little exercise, and has a totally miserable life, bereft of the companionship or bonding experience that dogs need to be happy.

Don't blame the dog for your daughter's neglect of her and for the complete lack of training or exercise this dog gets - sounds as if she's simply left to her own and the punished because she's got no idea what's expected, no decent companionship, and no life to put it mildy.

Please, do consider giving her to someone who will want her and give her the time and exercise she desperately needs. If you can't find a good home for her, consider finding a spot for her in a papillon or poodle rescue that has foster homes where this dog can get some experience living as a loved pet and then get a decent Forever Home.

Oh, and don't ever, ever, let your daughter talk you into getting her another dog. This is neglect to the nth degree.

You need to give the dog to a good owner who will spend time with it. It needs to have love, affection, and compassion in order to feel happy and well. I also think it should teach your 17 year old daughter a lesson on why she doesn't need to get a dog against parental permission and leave the dog behind like it's a doll or something. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I was 11 when I got a dog and I was not ready and neither were my parents but we still loved him and I still miss him. But I don't think this is acceptable.

If you are crazy about keeping it, then you need to take it to obedience classes and learn how to properly care for a dog, because it will be stressful to the whole family, and the dog. You also need to take control and stand up to your daughter no matter how old she is with animals because animals are not toys.

Ok, also please don't keep it in a crate for bad behavior. Only keep it in a crate when leaving for a few minutes to a couple hours because it is easier for dogs to relax in a quiet, dark, confined space, but again that depends on the dogs personality and preference.

But anyways, good luck with your dog and really consider my advice.

Where are you when she's digging, destroying stuff and not behaving? A dog who is bored out of it's mind without supervision will do these types of things.

The dog may be your daughters, but you are the parent..either suck it up and train the dog, hire a trainer, or get after your lazy daughter who got the dog in the first place and get her to do something.

Or place the dog in a rescue where hopefully, it will get the attention it's asking for..

Heavens.

You are the adult in this home, and it sounds like you washed your hands of YOUR responsibility as soon as the dog got there.

Stop blaming your MINOR daughter, get off your a** and train and exercise the poor thing, or surrender it to rescue.

bored dog, needs serious training, exercise and supervision

leash and supervise

take outside to potty

long walks to tire out

trainer to learn how to train

vet for medical problem

rehome if you aren't going to spend the time with dog

Get the poor thing to a rescue and kick your daughter in the rear end (for me).

your dog is over a year old sadly it is to late to change these behaviors.. sorry fido its time to go the way of ole yeller
