where did I go wrong

I know this make me sound like a really bad human, lol
but this dog has ripped up my carpet in 2 places, chewed 3 holes in my bed, and last night as I was making supper he jumped on the table and started to help himself, not to mention pooping in the floor. not to mention a hundred things I forgot.
btw he is fixed

hummm why am I so bad.

But otherwise he is loving in the house and playful with the cats and even made the old farrow cat his best friend.

but when we go outside he becomes a wild beast, tugging, bolting, and pulling, even tripping me, that what got him a boot in his a$$.
he acts like he is deff, but isn't.

last night I spent over an hour trying to get him to shake hands, he sat there looking at me like I am NUTT's.:dizzy:
 
He's been 'hurt' before and if YOU 'hurt' him with shock therapy it's all over. You're done 'training' him. You are the 'alpha' male (pack mentality reigns in a dog's thinking). But you can establish that 'role' thru training, not shock therapy. Think it over before you ruin what may be a good dog. IOW 'train' yourself first then the dog. Takes persistance and use a reward (threats) to gain his co-operation. But know WHAT to do. Focus on one objective at a time. You're confusing him. Good luck.

LOL Reme had his first shock, hehehe

I was sitting on my heating pad, (bad sciatica) and Remi got on my lap, and after a few minutes he let out a yelp.

he chewed into the electric cord.:dizzy:
 
My Little guy learned not to chew cords the same way... but he was about 4 months old. Terriers are smart, so he might still come around.

Grew up with hunting dogs and the Jack Russell was a good one for rabbit and squirrel . Then in my late twenties i rescued a wild cat and found out what having a friend instead of a pet was really all about. About 3 months ago i lost my Manx- ( Boo) and i really grieved . He was 21 yrs old. Cats can be totally different than all the old wives tales about them if you take the time and give them the love they need .
