I have a problem with my Chug (Chihuahua X Pug), Nala. She is 12 weeks old and seems to be the naughtiest, active and a little bit mischiviuos.
We have taught her to sit and where wee wees and poos go when the garden door is closed, and she does that no problem, but everything else needed for now we cannot get her to do:
she wont sleep at night unless someone is in the room, and this isnt just at night this is during the day too.
if you are out the house, she will sleep, but when she knows there is someone else in the house, she wont.
she goes for the cats food (we have a 3 year old cat who has never harmed her and hasnt even harmed a fly - one of those careless, lazy, adorable cats who dont even scratch) even when the cat is eating (will stand there face to face and look), then the cat goes and she goes for the food.
she is forever hungry. even after a meal.
she wont drop or leave it when asked to do so, even with a treat...she would rather eat your shoe (which she has mine - heel and the back), mouth on someones finger (even though she has 9 teething toys)...when you say "ouch" she looks and then carries on still with the finger there. "eek" doesnt work either.
she sometimes goes mental and runs around the house without stopping like as if she is being chased by horses.
i am going out of my mind...as much as she brings me stress i wouldnt swap her for anything or anyone, she is loveable when she wants to be but at other times she can be a nightmare.
we have had her for 3 weeks and may be its too soon to try new things with her, but sticking to the same method for a week (around 20 times a day with treats) doesnt work.
if you have any suggestions...
Tasha
