Ok. I think that my dog doesn't respect me at all and that is the root of all of her problems. She bites/nibbles on everyone's limbs even though she has PLENTY of chew toys. She still is having a hard time potty training (last night she soild my mom's new $400 rug, i think she was "marking a new territory') She will NOT come to me when I call her at all. She does not listen to me when I tell her "no" or "stop barking" When I do tell her to stop, she gets aggressive and growls at me. She poops all over the house the second we let her out even though she is being crate trained. We let her out to eat and she goes to the bathroom, she doesn't warn us that she has to go potty, and most of the time doesn't go while I take her repeadetly at least every 10 minutes. Yet, she has has seperation anxiety and wants to sleep right next to me at night. I give her LOTS of attention and I play with her a lot. I can not understand this dog!! Please someone help me before I am forced to give her away!!

you need to go take a training class, they have them at Petsmart stores, it sounds like your dog is training you not you training your dog. It takes a lot of time and attention and hard work to train a dog, you have to be very repetitive and be on a schedule and do this regularly to get the dog trained. It takes time but it pays off in the end.

to potty train: keep a leash on her and when she starts to do her bisness, jerk on the leash, and (if you have to) drag her outside. I konw it sounds cruel, but it is very efective.
the not listening part, if you call her and she doesn't come, find her and MAKE her listen, (you can put a leash on her an pull her to you). But if she dose come, meake a big deal about it, pet her give her treats, and any thing else dogs love.
The nibbling, flick her nose when she nibbles.

start all over....the first time your doggie pees or poops on floor, put his nose in it and say NO NO...clap hands carry dog outside.
U should do this the first day, and then by mornin, the dog will
whine to go outdoors to use it.
clap hands when sayin NO NO.
Give the dog a stuff animal, this makes them happy.
reward the dog with viena weinees, or crackers, chicken biscutt
crackers are good.
Good Luck and ALWAYS....have fresh water for dog.
