Thank you for the insights From what you say, it seems we allowed too much that he's excited around her, and should we be less tolerant to any kind of hyper state around her As cute as he is, it would be important that your girlfriend act calm and use a calm tone of voice around him and follow the same rules you have established. If she must praise, it must be done in a lower tone, that doesn't cause excessive excitement. It would help to involve her in the training. Take turns training, side-by-side, you first ask for a sit, praise/reward then right afterward she does, then you ask for a down, then she does, etc. We try to as much as possible, but not on every aspect For example, we brush together, like one treating, one brushing, evening walks are together, but I do morning alone It's true we do not do obedience at the same time. Mostly me, and sometimes she does We pay attention to our tone. In the beginning, we were a bit at the "dominance" school, like big shouted "NO" in case of bad behavior, and other stuff I wish I didn't do, but now most of it calm, even when cutting the interaction : a firm but not shouted "no mister !" and walking away We are around in what you say, butI think we just wait a little too much and tolerate for long He would start to bite, to tug, she will try to remove the arm, he will go again, she would dodge, he would finally get it, tug with more strength, which would be the ending point ==> We will now not accept even the first tug For humping she would be chilling, he would come, start to paws on her, she would turn her back, or dodge a bit, he would get back, get the paws on, and the humping position ==> after the first paws, (in the case we could prevent it) if he doesn't respond to "paws on the ground", we will cut here also instead of getting another round of him trying Thank you for the help ! We'll implement that and see how it goes ! I sense we will do quite some trips in the cellar now (it's the "interaction-cutting room :))
