Ladies I need advice!
Amethyst is getting to a point with her attitude where I’m not sure what to do. She’s defiant, she’s starting to lie and tells me no to pretty much everything and tells me stop.
I’ve tried reasoning with her, time outs, nap times, taking things away from her and spanking after a certain amount of time having to tell her not to do something.
She gets into everything all the time, and I know that that is normal but when I tell her to not mess with something and I remove it she will throw herself to the ground crying.
If I ask her to stop doing something she looks at me and gives me that look like “I’m cute I can do what I want” or that “make me” look.
When I spank her she will cry for a few seconds then go straight back to what she had just got into trouble for.
I’m trying to train our dog and whenever I do Amethyst yells at me to stop.
I have caught her poking the dogs eye while she’s asleep or pulling her tail and when I tell her not to do that because it’s not nice she says back “I didn’t do it”
She acts like she is in control and my fiancé and I just don’t know what to do anymore.
Help!!

If the spanking isnt helping I wouldnt do it anymore, it can teach hitting is okay, and that can be a whole new deal in itself.
I have found with my son that he will intentionally do something he knows is wrong to get attention. So for instance when he pulls the dogs tail I'll tell him "no no, that's an owie and we domt hurt the dog" I'll repeat my self up to 3x and if that doesnt work and I can tell hes doing it and looking at me to get a reaction, I'll take him to his room, put him in his pack and play and leave the room for about 5 minutes and then go get him, bring him to the thing he was doing wrong, reiterate why it's wrong and then I'll redirect him to something new and play with him with it! That's what I've found works for us !

I've tried putting her in her pack in play for time out and all she does is scream until me or my fiance comes and get her. I tried explaining to her why it's not ok and even try to redirect with something new to play with which doesn't last long until she's doing something she knows isn't ok to do. This pregnancy really isn't helping either, I'm alot more emotional which really isn't helping in this case

I wouldnt go get her untill she stops screaming, I would walk in every once an awhile and just tell her something along the lines of " I love you, but you need to calm down and listen, when you stop crying I'll come get you"
It's so hard to do especially when they are crying for you, but you have to stick to your guns and show you are the boss. And when she does stop crying and throwing a fit give her a bunch of love and cuddles !

she doesn't stop screaming that's the problem, she screams until she makes her self sick.
