I really need help training this crazy puppy! Please help me!?

He's not locked up for 20 hours a day. :main_thumbsdown: I play fetch and tug-a-war with him for 2 hours, sometimes more (He gets bored easily..). I walk him for 2-3 hours every day. I spend time training him for 1-2 hours every day. I have a busy schedule and I DO spend every possible moment I can with him! Lastly.. he only has the kitchen or crate to himself when I'm not home. I don't trust him roaming my house when I am not home. He has already had several accidents on my carpet and I don't have the extra money to keep getting it cleaned. Lastly, he is anything but poor. He is truly loved and adored and I will do anything to make sure he is well-exercised, well-trained, and happy!

That's great to hear. And as long as you're willing to continue investing the time and effort you've done so far into your pup, then I know you'll have a well-trained dog on your hands in time. I think one of the biggest things I've seen people lack with small dogs is patience, which means they give up on it too soon and either let it do whatever it wants, when it wants, or they randomly discipline it and get angry and frustrated and wonder why it won't behave. Keep us updated with your progress, it's always nice hearing how these things turn out.
