My boyfriend's parents have 2 chi.'s. They did not train their dogs, and any "training" they used was negative i.e. rubbing the dogs face in feces when they have accidents EVEN if it wasn't witnessed, hitting, etc...... Most of this has been done to the male. (what, the female doesnt do anything wrong?). After a few months of blaming him for everything, they realized that some of it was the female. Anyhow, the dogs, both unaltered, are not asking to go out and they have accidents. The male is being blamed and they think getting rid of him will cure everything. Anyhow he's a good dog and if they do get rid of him, I and my boyfriend (their son) will take him. My question is, what would be the best aproach to teaching this dog to be housetrained? If you even look at him wrong or say his name wrong he crouches to the floor tail between legs and starts running from you. Also how to keep the dog from pawing you when he wants attention (which is always)? This hurts especially when he gets ya in the eye! Their claws are sharp!!
