You and your husband have a dog that you adopted. The dog has a couple of issues, but nothing you can't work with. The dog likes the wife...not the husband. The husband says, in an argument, you pick me or the dog. What do you do?
My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!
Re: What would you do?
For some reason my edit is not working...*that they both attend
It will probably show up now...
The dog needs training, big time. Yeah, the husband shouldn't be yelling at it--but I've noticed most humans are jerks in that regard. Why hasn't wife taken the dog to training or brought someone in? How long has the dog been behaving like this?
And yeah, there are definitely other issues going on.
IMO, husband is provoking the dog by yelling at him, and probably making the dog's issues worse. Husband should take the dog to obedience classes or training or something to work on the dog's issues AND learn how to properly discipline a dog without scaring it/making it defensive.
Are the issues with possessiveness only occurring when the dog is allowed on the bed, or was that just an example? If they are, maybe the dog just wants to feel "in control" of its sleeping place and should have its own bed somewhere else and not be allowed on the couple's bed.
I think you hit the nail on the head with that last statement...
I'm seeing multiple solutions, but the H seems to be refusing them all and issuing an ultimatum instead.
Talked to my friend today. Her H agreed to get a trainer to come to the house. Hopefully the trainer can get everyone on the same page. He's a great dog.
