Argh...I know I sound so mean, but this dog is dumber than a box of rocks. He is as sweet and loving as they come, but geez he doesn't get anything. He wakes up in a new world everyday. Toby was never the brightest crayon in the box, but he got the big stuff. I really thought Lucky would follow Toby's lead, but absolutely no such luck.
We tried obedience classes. He doesn't do anything unless it's for a treat no matter how many times we have done it. He won't poop unless all the planets are in allignment (there can be absolutely no distractions, noise, rain, or before midnight). He is scared of the dryer no matter how many times he is in the utility room with the dryer going. We have the same schedule EVERYDAY yet he still doesn't understand the concept of having to poop before being let out in the house. I could go on all day.
My husband doesn't care for him at all, so it is all me and I have to admit I am getting to the point of being more frustrated with him than enjoying him. I know every dog has a different level of difficulty, but this one is really testing me. I already have a toddler in the house, I don't need my patience tested any further. lol!
O.k. I am through venting and off to tell Lucky to be quiet for the 10th time in 10 minutes!
