Hey everyone,
A couple days ago I got my puppy, Caramel. When I met her, she was so sweet and was SUPER easy to train. I wanted a dog like that, so I got her from a rescuer. When we got home, though, her personality flipped. She was stubborn, mouthy, and jumpy. All of her siblings got adopted already, so I couldn't exchange puppy. She was also VERY hard to train, unexcited about everything, chewed all my plants even though I gave her loads of toys. She didn't like human interaction, too. When we go out for walks, Caramel pulls the leash and goes haywire when I try to leash train her. I know she is just a young puppy, but I feel like the world is crumbling apart. I miss the days when I didn't have to watch Caramel's every step. To sum it up, I need help on these things:
1). Leash training.
The classic 'stop and stay until your dog follows' and the 'walk the other direction' method doesn't work for Caramel. She just jumps up, yelps, and spins around when I try to do that. Then, she just sits and chews on something. I can't get a special harness, either, as there are no pet stores that sell that in my country.
2). Jumping and mouthing.
When she bites and I yelp, she just wags her tail and nips even harder, and jumps on me and tries to bite me again. I don't know how to solve this.
3). Interest.
How do I get Caramel to be interested in me?
I don't have anyone to help me in this
