Dogs Training Blog

He is a black lab about 6 months old. We adopted him from the ASPCA at the age of 3 months. His mother was pregnant and was a stray when the ASPCA adopted him. We adopted the puppy 3 months ago so he is 6 months old now. around 2.5 weeks ago we neutered him.O.K. my dog Oscar always walked well. He always follows me and walks by my side and occasionally he will lead but I will stop and tell him to sit. So today I stopped and he wasn’t sitting (he usually sits the minute I tell him to) and he started humping me. I know that he must be trying to tell me that he is dominant and stuff so later he started biting my arm and leg. He tore some flesh and I had to get 12 stitches done. I don’t know what to do. I have never hit my dog nor have I used any choke collars. He kept doing this for like 20 min.I am in desperate need, what do I do?And also he is crate trained. He is in the living room but it is fenced so that he can’t chew things. He gets 3 walks a day each of which is 1 hour. So he gets 3 hours of walking. He also knows a number of tricks like sit, down, heel, bang, roll over, go home (he goes into his fence), and he is an overall good boy. My parents say that I spoil him too much and that using treats for too long is not the way to go.I am at a lost =(
