Our dog precious, a cocker spaniel, is only about 1 year and a few months old.
I know she is quite young still, but I was hoping that as she aged she would mature, but that is not what is happening. It is creating stress in my inner person.
She is still selfish and kind of a brat. She whines really loudly when she doesn't get what she wants, kind of like a spoiled rotten brat, and no amount of punishment seems to be getting rid of this behavior. I kind of wish my mom would not have gotten a puppy and would have gotten an adult dog, a dog that is already mature (we are a household of adults), so you see, I am stuck living with this nightmare.
I wanted a mature dog. Precious is not mature. So I told myself I would give her a chance and see if she would grow out of some of her behaviors that she does, but so far, nothing. And she is getting older every day. She is not progressing as I want her to.
If I had my way I would have gotten rid of her by now, but my mom seems to like her and wants to hold onto her still. But in my opinion, Precious is the worst thing that has happened to me and I don't want to live with her. She is immature, a brat, selfish, and a glutton. I could name some other character flaws, but that is only the beginning. Truth is, I am not fond of this dog, I wanted a mature dog and my mom instead got this...spoiled child that I have to deal with.
She seems to think that we exist solely to serve her, which is very selfish in my opinion. I am no servant to some immature baby puppy. I have more pride and self respect than that.
Do dogs grow out of some of their more undesirable characteristics as they grow older?
