My father Dislikes our dog, what should we do?
Well, he is a puppy so it is expected that he will be rambunctious. What are you waiting for? Take your dog to training as soon as possible. There are probably classes available through your local community college or park district. If not, check your local PetSmart (they are little more expensive). Be sure to select a trainer who uses positive reinforcement rather than punishment (e.g. choke chain, shock collars, etc.) You should also work with your dog daily on his behavior. Take him for a 45-60 minute walk everyday then work on specific behaviors. There are great training books and videos available. It will also help to get your dog fixed. This will calm him down, protect his health, and help control the pet population. Once your dog is taught some proper manners, your dad will probably start to like him better.
