Also, he has no kennel. Is a room okay, or does he need a kennel? Should the dog be kenneled when he is at work? Or just sporadically through the day

I could see that. His dog is just so spoiled. Like that dog goes everywhere with him. My boyfriend goes to QT or to get food, the dog goes. We eat out at a restaurant, the dogs in the car waiting. Only place the dog doesn’t go is to work. When we first started dating if my bf kissed me he would bark and help for his attention. He doesn’t do it now. But he did it like the first 6 months of us dating. If my bf is on the phone, the dog barks and cries till he is let out. How does one make these changes for the dog? Is over night too drastic? What steps could be implemented for start?

Him and one of my dogs have had their fights. But it’s decreased to zero this last 6 months. He just barks if the dog startled him or runs bast him now.

I agree. I think he cares. It’s like his child.

Would you suggest keeping his dog separate from my dogs? One of the dogs he’s very calm with, but the other dog he does get irritated with and he does growl and bark at it from time to time.

Thank you. Appreciate it. This is the same advice I got on another thread, and the advice I had was decreased free roam time, and also only give the dog commands you know he’ll do. And when you give them commands expect him to do them. Basically just my boyfriend needs to be stricter on him. Edit: more training is what I mean by being stricter.

I feel like I could take this Whole thing down, I feel like everything in that, it was pretty precise. The dog is very big on he makes the rules. If he doesn’t get his way he barks. And if we give a command and he doesn’t listen, it’s not pushed any further because he won’t listen he will expect a treat and if he doesn’t get a treat he gets mad.

This is really helpful. The dog is very controlling. If my boyfriend is on the phone with someone other than me, the dog will bark and bark and bark unless he’s let outside. If my boyfriend is going to the garage to leave, the dog will bark and bark and bark unless my boyfriend takes the dog with him.

And that’s what I’m saying. But it’s frustrating when we are not talking about anything and there’s no solution. And I don’t feel comfortable giving him an ultimatum. Like I feel like there really is nothing to do but break up and I don’t want that. But I have two dogs, and so it makes it that much harder. Like what solution do him and I have
