My parents got a dog that barks all the time and other things and I hate it
My parents brought a dog home last night and it's so annoying! It keeps fighting with the other dog and has peed on the floor three times. Despite this, I'm the only one ticked off as everyone is like "aw look how cute the wittle puppy is". He was barking at three in the morning last night, and not just a little bit, a full-on frickin' chain of YIP YIP YIP. He knocked over my Chromebook and my mom got mad at me even though I put the charger up on the chair where I thought he wouldn't get it....I hate this dog and wish we would've gotten a kitten instead. Kittens are cute. I wish I could love or at least tolerate it though....what do I do? Just suffer until he's trained?

Puppies aren't for everyone, but there are some things that you can do to make things better. The reason why the puppy was making noise at night was probably because it was the first time away from his mother. This is very common and shouldn't last for more than 2 or 3 days so just hang in there. Knowing that there's a puppy in the house that can knock things over, just be careful about where you put things. If it's peeing on the floor that much, your family is not taking care of it properly. It should be let out every half hour or so and someone needs to be watching it constantly. Consider crate training. Do it yourself if you have to. It may be worth it if you can train the dog more quickly. Crate training is also a nice way to keep the dog out of trouble. If that's not an option, maybe baby gates? Put them up so the dog can't go certain places in the house? Good luck! You won't hate the dog forever. After awhile it won't act much like a puppy anymore. Honestly a kitten probably would have caused just as much trouble too. Rather than suffer until it's trained, train it yourself. There's tons of info online about how to do it. It can actually be fun and rewarding. If you're not willing to do that, then don't complain and just tough it out.

Make the best of the situation. If you approach this in a different way, you might actually find yourself saying "what a cute wittle puppy". Try teaching the puppy a trick like sit, shake, or my personal favorite... dont eat the dog catchers treat. That last one is very fun but takes some practice. Hold a treat and say this one is from mommmy, and let him eat it, this on is from the mail man, and let him eat it, this one is from the dog catcher, and when he goes to eat it say no dont eat from the dog catcher. Eventually he will learn I can have this trat from mommy but when you say dog catcher dont take it. It actually ends up being pretty funny when you show other people his new trick. Chances are, when you spend time with him doing fun things you will develop a bond with him and him with you. Hope this helps :)
