That seems really frustrating. It all boils down to training. You just have to be more patient, things will get better. To find out more about training, please click on:

Many canine misbehaviors are born out of instinct, and most arise from either boredom or stress.

But for him to learn what is and isn’t appropriate in the world you share, you must act as the benevolent leader of your household:

• Set boundaries and be consistent.


• Reinforce good behavior with plenty of treats, toys, and attention.


• Ignore unwanted behavior as much as possible.


• Make sure your dog knows he’s a beloved and important part of the pack.

Any behavior can be made much worse by inadequate training or poor handling. Physical force is never effective and only weakens the bond you’re trying to build. Check this link for more information.

Try getting him to eat a little pineapple. It’s supposed to make the poo taste bad.
