Hes a miniature doberman pincher mix. For the past week or two my family and I have notice a difference in his behavior. He used to be potty trained, but recently it seems he goes wherever he pleases. He also will run throughout the house, even when we call him repeatedly. While hes running around he either pees, jumps on our table, or goes through the garbage. Also, whenever we try to throw him out to eat or use the bathroom, he tries to attack us.
Any tips on training him? Or why hes acting this way?
Well, I am assuming that you are talking about a Miniature Pinscher. They are feisty little guys to begin with, and often have a very strong will. If he used to be well behaved and house trained, chances are that something in his life has changed dramatically if he is suddenly misbehaving and going wherever he wants instead of outside.
I would take him to the vet, and ask for their opinion. They can usually make some recommendations.
Also, is he neutered? If not, that could be part of your problem.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com As for the biting/attacking, it sounds as if he is trying to assert dominance of you/your family and winning. I would strongly suggest visiting an expert dog training who specializes in difficult dogs.
First of all, even small dogs need exercise. Min Pins in particular are extremely energetic, and all the training in the world won't make a dent if he's not getting enough exercise.
Research "nothing in life is free" training methods or contact a professional behaviorist. Getting him neutered may also help to curb the marking incidents.
He is being dominant you need to make sure that he earns your love and affection You have to show your dog that you are the pack leader and make sure he has lots of exercise Take him out for longer walks and talk to him and keep him off your furntiure
Is he locked up during the day? He may need alot of exercise ... it helps if you have a fenced yard to play with him in or take him on a walk or a run before training
