Galen here. I'm having training trouble with my humans. Does anyone have advice?
They have bad potty training. They both go potty in the water bowl. Disgusting, right? How do I fix it?
They are food aggressive. Sometimes they bring in really good smelling food, and they get all snarly if I try to taste it. They even get snarly if I try to taste the cat food, which they don't even seem to want to eat. They are just resource guarding. How do I fix it?
They are territorial. They get snarly when I stand on my hind legs to look at things. (Which is really weird, since they stand on their hind legs to look at things all the time.) They sometimes also get snarly when I want to sleep in a bed or a chair. I'm not sure if the bed issue is resource guarding (specific object) or territoriality (a bigger area.) How to I train them to be better about sharing?
They don't get enough exercise. They hardly ever run. They ignore me when I bring them a ball, unless it's early morning or early evening. It's very difficult for me to get them to play during the day. Do you think they might suffer from the mid-day heat? Any ideas how to get them to play more?
