Getting frustrated again

[binxrexchubbs]

Hubby & I have different ways of handling Chubbs. Partially because hubby is racing to get ready in the morning so he doesn't have time to go slow. So all the wok I did last week, has retry much gone out the door. What I've noticed & find both interesting & annoying is Chubbs will listen to me when it's just the two of us. However, once hubby gets home... it's a complete 180. He stops listening to me & only obeys hubby.

Just like a kid-he'll choose the one who lets him get away with the most! Bullies seem to mull over things in their minds more than other breeds-so you probably are #2, cause Dad may spoil more! If you both don't get on the same "page" with training-it will go downhill. When parents don't stick together with training children-they know how to play one against the other!! Good luck with DAD!!

[MENTION=8741]Manydogs[/MENTION] We just enrolled Chubbs into puppy classes, finally! I don't think hubby spoils him, more hubby is such a big guy with a deep voice (which I don't have) that Chubbs clearly thinks he's the leader of the pack. :-(

Get rid of hubby, LOL just kidding, Chubbs is still a baby and will learn in time, it just takes time and plenty of patience, and it also helps if EVERYONE is on the same page when training.

Good luck with puppy class. Maybe that will give Chubbs more respect for you! Good discipline-but you still need to practice at home. A case of "do what I say, not what I do!"

yep -- they play off of you... so you have to be on the same page with the training.
