    I have found taking away treats seems to work! Or making him work a little harder for them!

    He's immature and irresponsible, time for him to move on and stand on his own two feet

    You know you made a lifetime commitment to this husband, right? It's going to be difficult to rehome him with these behavior problems. How would you feel if the next person to take him had to put him down?

    I say work with him. You could get one that poops on the bed.

    Actually, I only made that type of commitment to the cats, with the husband I left the "to death do us part" bit out. You do have a point about the replacement being worse though.

    I think you have a classic problem with an "inside" pet. They get stressed when they are cooped up too much. Allow him to roam a little more freely, but make sure you lavish him with loving and affection when he is kept inside. Make sure that his wants are filled, and insure he has plenty of extra "treats."
    Also, please have him send me the money he owes me for this.

    I reinforce good behavior with treats. And by treats I mean delicious food and slutty behaviour.

    There's this place in Detroit that will buy them from you for fighting...

    the weaker ones might become bait for the stronger to practice on though...so consider yourself warned :huh:

    He's already been trained to fight, but they don't want him back either, something about not needing as many troops as they did a few years ago.

    Do *not* contact the breeder. They are very territorial. Although they are likely aware of the issues you discuss, they will blame you for them.

    I find that small rewards work best. Rewarding good behavior as opposed to punishing the bad is the best way to go.

    I find husbands like beer, pizza, and cookies.

    no sex?

    Sounds like you're stuck with this one.

    As long as he's not peeing on the carpet or chewing up your shoes, I think there's hope for him!

    Would you consider also having a wife??
