That confirms the dog wasn't raised with any discipline or to know and respect the pecking order in the household.

Bingo. My girlfriend has one and he’s a spiteful little bastard. When he acts up though he gets his way, so he continues to act up. Closed the door to my bedroom the other night and he started clawing at it. After a few minutes of this I got up to go jerk a knot in him, only to see he’d shite on the rug and pissed in two different places. He barks like a maniac anytime someone gives the impression they’re about to leave the house, and barks like a maniac if he isn’t getting the attention he thinks he deserves. This is all a consequence of the dog being spoiled his entire life. At the end of the day he’s a really sweet dog but they are a petulant, stubborn breed. My aussies know when my voice raises it’s time to cut out whatever shite it is they’re doing or face swift negative repercussions. This dog thinks the world revolves around him.
