"she goes in and out and in and out"

My ex dropped the dog we got together off the other day for me to care for while he is in between residents. It's very frustrating that it is apparent he has had little to none to spend with her. Casey is disobediant and at best her own dog rather than anyone elses. The reason why I allowed him to keep her was because she took care of him in a

I think that we have a different opinion of how a dog should be. A dog should learn to be respectful of other dogs and humans. To me, KC should not have to be asked to do so. She can learn manners, she just needs to be shown what behaviors are right all the time, sometimes, and ones that are wrong. It is silly that you think we are going to break her of her energy. You can't break the energy or personality of a dog. She is always going to be KC but she could be her with better manners. It sounds like you want her to continue jumping, going crazy with other dogs while on a leash, barking incessantly even when told to stop...etc. If that's how you want your dog, please find someone else to watch her. I do not have the desire to watch a dog for six weeks that is supposed to remain so misbehaved. My initial reaction after the first walk and realizing how much work and time she needs to exist with me currently was to ask you to either find somebody else to watch her or give her to me. I really disagree with how it seems you let KC do what she wants. Sure she'll come lay down, play run, and sleep and some other things to..but she needs more than that. It seems like she is exactly the same since I left. I guess we should have discussed this before I agreed to watch her. So far, she is learning very welll not to pull on the leash during a walk..she still gets excited when we pass anything by (dogs, people, bicyclists, etc) but that is going to be a hard habit to break. Soon I am sure she'll learn to be a really good dog. You could train her if you wanted to, it takes a lot of time and energy that I am not sure you are capable of having while so busy with work, school, partying, and finding a new place. Judging from the message above I think you should probably find someone else to watch her. I'm not going to make a schedule for you. If I am going to put this much time and energy into her, I think I should get to keep her. I can see how you wold think this is unfair as I agreed to just watching her this is why you have this option. You seem to need her or benefit a lot from the companionship though so maybe it is better that I do not keep her and you really do seek other help now. Sorry that its too much for me to not keep her and that I would rather not be so frustrated.
