I [28F] don't love my bfs [28M] dog [10M]

Thanks for the advice. I'd only be truly happy without one. I'm not sure his mom would be happy without one so it sucks! (she's brought a stray home in the past from what my bf says). A professional trainer may be out of our budget though :/

I agree that this is probably the worst situation with the chihuahua and I'm not sure how much the dog could learn with treats due to his age. My bf literally said to me "He's an old dog it's not like I can teach him anything new."

I have tried to use treats to have him stay upstairs and not bark when there are people downstairs but he just cries for the treats if I don't give them quick enough(cause I'm trying to teach patience). I am at a loss because it's not even my dog so I feel weird trying to train him
