My beautiful baby girl Hendrixx is 11 weeks today & is giving me & my fiancée the blues LOL
Although she’s already mastered commands such as come here, sit, stay, & lay down, she mostly only follows those instructions when she sees that we have a treat in hand or after the command is repeated several times.
She’s not allowed on our bed (until she’s fully potty trained), so she stands on her hind legs on the sides of the bed trying to get in the bed. When told “No! Get down!” she sometimes growls or barks before following the command. Then repeats the same thing several times. She even does her paws as if she’s hitting me before finally following the command. I’m sure it sounds hilarious, but it’s rather frustrating because she’s SO stubborn & hard headed.
I’m sure that this is normal puppy behavior & I understand that she’s just doing it for attention (ignoring her does NOT work, as advised by all training videos I’ve seen), but what do you do when your pup only listens to commands when SHE wants to?
