@Petra ... I was thinking this too... maybe get him to bond some with hubby may help. banks was like this with Nitschke and we had a heck of a time getting her to not attack him.. the difference however, was Banks was just overly dominate and did not like that Nitschke was the first dog (not alpha) he was first in the home and she was pissed about it. So with them we had to watch the interaction and behavior constantly... if Nitshcke coward or slowly left a room then we knew she was up to something, or if we noticed changes to her stance or movement, she was placed in a submissive position till we released her.... it was a 9 yr training session :D
Ja I think you and [MENTION=6717]dolphin[/MENTION] are right... cos there isn't a problem when I'm home alone I'm the one doing everything that has to do with discipline with the dogs, hubby just gives them treats and cuddle them. No wonder they get so happy when he comes home. I'm just the mean b**ch with wet wipes and claw clippers
This probably started when my husband fed them by couch, he doesn't listen to me. Bennie has food aggression and we can't feed him in the same room as the others so I don't know how he thinks it's a good idea to give them of his food at dinner time That was the first time Bennie attacked Boeboe at this house. It was months, maybe a year since their last fight so this was so unnecessary. Unfortunately it's not enough if one person in the household has rules... This exact reason is why Bennie and Joey are now fighting at plain sight of each other, hubby fed them together... If that happens with Boeboe and Bennie we are in BIG trouble. I don't want to blame my hubby cos he's a really good person but he needs to understand that if you want animals certain responsibility comes with it. He's the type that just wants to save animals and drink wine, lol.
