Puppies are like

Make appropriate places for your dog to stay home alone safely

If you Over correct your pup and extend the obedience both in home
and outside classes...
Sometimes the pup is just sick of being told no all the time...
Give more praise (you can get further with Honey than Vinegar)
Less than 5 mins at at time throughout the day

As they grow older (6mos to a year)
Extend it to 10 mins then to 15 mins
Sorry
Puppies do not understand the modern day
Kids time out...
Don't put them in a cage for an hour
and expect them to understand what they
have done wrong?...they are not human
This confuses them and
some will start to learn agression towards you
becoming unruly ....noisy..... and hyper
Correct your pup when caught...on the spot then forget it....
When he does it again.... correct him again...etc
Eventually he will catch on......Repetition
Train you puppy to love his cage
Put treats or toys he can get only when in the cage
Have you ever watched Mommy Dog correct her pups???
Even though she may have 11+ children
She corrects them with kisses ....love bites and patience...
Dogs do not think..... they learn by repetition
They learn by observing other Pack members....
They are observing you and your children
Are your kids under control?
Most likely your puppie is acting like your children..
Remember when Bloodhounds at 6mos of age become a 70lb +.... (adolescent)
They are still mentally a puppie..until 2 to 3 years old
Depending whether or not male or female
Depending whether or not male or female
Don't call your Breeder

and want to give him back
And don't give the lame excuse.... I have had a lot of puppies in the past
but this is the worst
