She's doing well and is learning quickly. My problem is staying out of a specific area of the house. She always wants to be with me. We have an area borded off with plywood about 3 feet hight that she can clear easily and jumps over whenever I give her the stay command. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When I scold her she hides and won't come to me. It's seems to be a constant battle. Question: Do we continue with the barrier or take it down and just let her come back with me to this part of house? (It's our bedrooms and formal living room.) We've been putting her in her kennel when she jumps over and disobeys, but I don't want the kennel to be punishment. Help!

ok...I've let her over the barrier into the other room. Are we opening ourselves up to giving her full rein of the house? I don't want to jeopardize the Alpha establishment ( which I think we have established). Sometimes, she really obeys..other times she groans when she has to, or she just deliberately disobeys which then becomes a game of hide and seek. Should I just relax and not worry about it? I don't remember puppy training being so challenging!!

It sounds like you are over-correcting her if she won't come to you. She should always want to, otherwise you may end up with a dead dog.

Yeah it does purely sound like he's being a touch lively domestic dog, and as for the humping element he ought to get over it, I have a 6 month spaniel and he humps his issues also its only a section. As for the "aggression" if he does nip alittle not person-friendly then my suggestion is to yelp, its how puppys interior the clutter tell one yet another that it hurts and rather some the time it truly works, the domestic dog will end and check out you with those massive sorry eyes. If this does no longer artwork and also you hit upon that your severe pitched screams make him more suitable excitable then purely turn your lower back for your domestic dog and ignore about, it wont take him lengthy to ascertain out you've change into very boring and toddle off. Your domestic dog will strengthen out of this boisterous level as he a lengthy time period, so dont hardship to a lot :)

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aL2aU
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

you're right you don't want the crate to ever be used as punishment. she's still a pup, just keep being consistant. maybe have someone hold her on leash and you put her on a sit, stay and when she gets up have the person holding the leash sit her back down. it's going to take patience and consistancy. if you're ok with her now going into that part of the house, then let her. if you're not, just keep working on it. seems like you've done a great job so far, just keep being consistant, it will pay off.

Well I understand that you don't want to use the kennel as a punishment and that is a good thing, you don't want her thinking that when you put her in there and when you leaving that she is in trouble and you don't her start disliking the kennel. Try getting a doggie bed, maybe on the side of the kennel, or some where she can have her area, I would put some of her toys there and make sure that water is accessable some where. Try giving her own space other then the kennel and to maybe top it off, since she is a puppy give her something of your with you scent on it that she can have, like a stuff animal that you have cuddled with or maybe even an old blanket that she can cuddle with that way she can feel near you even if you not there in the room. Well, I have a 3yr old lab we don't keep her out of any areas and she was the easiest puppy I have ever potty trained, But when I leave she seems always want to cuddle with my pjs from the night before, she doesn't chew of them or anything, she just like to cuddle with somehting that has my scent on it so maybe if you give you puppy a blankent that has your scent on it or some other Item she might not follow you as much. my dog does have a doggie bed on the floor and when she does something she know shes not suppose to do I make her lay down until, I give the okay to get up. But its still her area and shes not kenneled up, so she knows that its okay to go and lay down on it when shes not in trouble too. but I would assume that if I put your dog in a kennel when she was in trouble and then when it was time for bed or when your out it might be confusing on her. I think if your puppy had her own area/ like a doggie bed on the side , she'll learn the defference of when she is in trouble and when you make her lay down and make sure she knows shes in trouble for going in the areas shes not suppose to be in or for other things that pups get in trouble for, although you should be the one telling her when its time to get back up,its like atime out. that way when you use the kennel for bed time or for when you go out she won't think that she is in trouble. and the item with your scent is so when you do leave and go into another room if she miss you she can cuddle with that item and it might help. on the other hand start of with the fornt door don't let her follow you out, give you bonders like a little kid, tell her to stay until you say its okay and then reward her with a small treat and slowly just give her a treat here and their once she gets the hang of it. And then work on the areas in the house that you don't want her in, don't let her go in those rooms and put her on the outside of the room and tell her to say then when she stays for a good amount of time walk back into the room that shes allowed in and treat her. I would also sudgest, say, stay out when you are in a room shes not allowed in and stay when you want to her to just stay and wait somewhere that way its two different commands.

Consistency. You also may need to "tether" her out of that room when you are in there, near a comfy bed and teach her the "go to bed" command. Then you can teach her to go and stay there when you are in the off limits area.
Make sure you leave a fun toy, tasty treat, etc with her bed to keep her occupied.

I'd take the barrier down and let her be with me. If you need some free time put her in her crate for awhile. I put mine in his crate sometimes during the day when he wants to sleep. Eventually he'll start going in it himself because it'll be like his room (den). He'll feel safe there.
