That behavior you dislike, it's temporary. That pulling on the leash, it's temporary. Does your dog get you up in the morning? That's temporary.

I know I sound crazy (and sometimes I am), but once you understand how this works you can help your dog through tough situations. Your patience will increase and you will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. One thing you have to remember is:

"Nothing changes if nothing changes"
