It’s wise to never get between a dog and its owner, literally or otherwise. Canine companions can be fiercely loyal, and their owners are just as loyal to them in return. As Charles de Gaulle said, “The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs.”
One dogdadhit the roof when his live-in mom and girlfriend both ganged up on him to try and get rid of his belovedpooch, all because it was deemed “untrainable”. The guy wouldn’t hear of it and said he’d rather leave them in his wake but still turned to netizens for a sense check.

The guy flat-out blocked their cruel intentions and said they’d see the back of him first, then turned to netizens for support
He explains that thedoghas been a handful from day one and only responds to his commands. He adds that while his girlfriend doesn’t live with him, his mom does. At this point, he also mentions that hisgirlfriendhas never stepped up to caring for the dog despite being the one who wanted it most.
OP admits to spending hours with the dog each day, walking him up to 10km and playing with him, too. About a month ago, the couple sent the dog for training, but things didn’t go well. After spending a month at the K9 training center, the trainer deemed it “untrainable” and sent ithome.
Things took a turn for the worse when, while deciding what to do next, OP’s girlfriend and mom let him know that they’d be happier without the dog in their lives. OP didn’t take this too well, letting them both know that he’d sooner sell up and shove off, leaving them both behind while he pursued a happy life with his hound.

From what OP tells us in his post, it certainly seems as though he has a puppy problem on his hands. Still, they’ve hardly exhausted all avenues to try and solve the problem. Different breeds have different needs and different training methods. So, before there’s more doggy drama, what are OP’s options? We went looking foranswers.
Bored Pandareached out to dog trainer Anthony Newman fromCalm Energy Dog Trainingin New York to get his opinion.
Newman says that dog “training” is really about how you raise and interact with your dog, on a day-in day-out basis.
As to why OP’s dog might be deemed untrainable, Newman had this to say, “Leashed walks are not normally enough. In order to successfully purge most dogs’ physical energies, they need access to off leash running and playing.”
Perhaps OP would be best off doing as much research as he can to find the right trainer and not take one trainer’s opinion at face value. He certainly seems committed enough.
