1.5 year old Border Collie/Dalmation mix. The dog has been through several foster homes/owners. Everyone takes her back b/c she is insane. My gf & I are both EXTREMELy frustrated to the point of we are about done.
She has almost stopped randomly pissing in the house. However, many other issues seem to not get better no matter what we do including going to training classes with the dog. She will do great in class b/c she knows the instructor is going to keep feeding her.
Food seems to be the only way to get her to listen & that's not even a 100% thing.
She still jumps on people (including us), jumps on tables, counters, the guinea pig's cage, etc. She tries to get into EVERYTHING. If you leave something laying around, she will steal it. She also always tries to play w/the cat, but the cat wants nothing to do with her.
She also barks too much, The barking is a recent thing. She recently started barking every **** morning waking us up. (she stays in her cage when my gf is at work and when we are sleeping) The citronella collar has not helped at all with that.
She constantly barks and scratches at the door as if to go out for the bathroom, but half the time she just wants to go outside & play/eat snow.
She knows her name, sit, down, etc, but will rarely listen unless she gets a treat for doing it. No clicker + treat = Forget it 90% of the time!
She barks at/chases random cars, people, dogs, cats, birds, etc. When she does this crap, it's impossible to get her attention.
Nothing seems to be helping. This dog is HIGH STRUNG x999999 I'm thinking she's just one of those dogs that will always be a terror no matter you do. We don't have the loot to send her off to a professional trainer. (That worked for an EX's Beagle)
HELP!
