Mikey-
Thank you for trying to help I greatly appreciate it. Although some of these things we have been doing and this behavior is still occuring. I have had dogs and grown up with many puppies and I know how they behave at certain ages. A basset though is entirely new to me so this is why I am having such issues. I don't want you to take me wrong and think that we are not doing anything with this dog and that is why he is behaving this way.
As far as excersice I am fully aware that a dog needs it and if it doesnt get it they will be more of a nuisance. We take this dog for walks everyday and we take him to the off leash dog park every single weekend for 2 hours if not longer. On the day that we took him for a hour long walk he still caused havic in the house.
As far as tug goes I am not against it what so ever. I have played tug of war with all of my dogs growing up. This one on the other hand does not like to play tug we have tried but he wont. He does not even like to play with a ball. He likes to play with other dogs and with us. But like I said we have another dog here and he is still doing things like this.
I understand where you are coming from with the house training that he might be confused since he has been moving alot of his life, but at the same time every other dog i have ever had still knows that when you are inside you do not go to the bathroom no matter where you are you wait till you are let outside. But I will be more patient with him and try to retrain him if this continues to occur.
The past 2 days we have actually been ignoring him alot as far as when he whines because he wants attention and it has seemed to make a lot of difference today, he is not near as bad as he used to be.
