Hi my names Daniel,
First of all this is my first post on this forum xD
My parents have 1 Maltipoo called Bobbie (Malteese cross minipoodle) who is now 2 years old, 1 Springer Spaniel(Gundog line) called Lexie who is 5 years old and 1 West Highland Terrier called Cara who is 14.
They all live in a 2 bedroom appartment and we have the kitchen with a baby gate to put them after walks etc. They are walked three times a day and same times every daywhich is 6am, 3pm and then 9 pm.
Now that I have explained the small details I want to know why I am posting, I want to know why Bobbie is soooo badly behaved and sneaky that he cannot be trusted not being in the same room as us.
Basically we cannot leave him in the kitchen with the others as he barks constantly to come out, which then my dad and mum give in and let him out. They let him sleep on their bed while the others sleep in the kitchen which is REDICULOUS in my opinion. For the last couple months me and my mum made my dad sware he would never give them 'tit' bits when he goes to the kitchen but I sware he still privately does it. Bobbie sits literaly next to my parents on the sofa when they eat dinner which angers me and I have to tell him to get down.
Take for example this morning, as I write this I can hear the rattle of dinner plates and forks scratching the plates that we ate from last night which means he is licking off and eating our last nights dinner remains from the table!!
Another example is that last night, my dad went to the bedroom to watch tv with Bobbie on his lap, he fell asleep and Bobbie took the opportunity to eat their valentines chocolates which were high up on their bedside table!
I know that a dogs behaviour is down to training or LACK of training, He is for sure not my dog as my parents treat him as their baby and baby him so much that he thinks he is the leader of the household and gets no punishment and prefereable treatment compared to the other 2 dogs. He still has accidents also, every now and then we find some pee against a chair leg or somewhere which is ruining our carpets.
Also worth mentioning is that he sort of has his way of showing the other two dogs whos boss by giving them play bights (I think thats normal?) which sometimes make Lexie yelp that she has to put him in his place which leads to him yelping.
During walks we cannot let him off the lead as he focuses on the closest dog and runs off to them, he definitelly doesnt know recall when you call him.
I know this is alot of information but Bobbie basically is like my parents baby but they know hes bad but wont do anything about it, that is why I am taking action as hes 2 now and it might be too late allready as he might be set in his ways? We have had many dogs and never had problems as the other 2 are perfectly behaved in the house. I get the feeling that this poodle cross 'chooses' what he listens too and ignores people?
If anybody has had experience with Poodle crosses I would appriciate some advice on my situation and how this can be resolved, as much as he is a little shit that goes unpunished and gets treated like a newborn baby I do really like him but we cant stand his behaviour.
Thanks for reading, Daniel
P.S he was neutered when he was around 13 months old I beleive.
