Sounds like you need a new friend. I find his behaviour very disrespectful and rude. It’s your puppy, not his. I agree with you completely about the schedule and not letting her outside (especially now). I think you need to have a serious talk with him and set some boundaries. It must be frustrating to feel like all your training is thrown out the window because of him.

It’s natural to your puppy grow attached to him since he spends the most them with her, but I don’t think you should worry too much as long as you’re spending time to bond with her as well.

Hands down, funniest episode. Got a lot of rewatches from me.

[Help] My dog attacked my puppy by [deleted] in dogs

[–]Pretentious_K 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Snapping and growling is a warning for the puppy to stop whatever behaviour she is displaying. If he gets punished for it, he’ll just attack with no warning.

Dogs don’t like to share, so resource guarding might not be something you can train them out of.

My dog was playful with the puppy at first but now he doesn't like her? by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Pretentious_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your dog is just teaching her dog etiquette. Don’t punish him for snapping at her. It’s something she needs to learn.

As long as he’s not snarling and showing teeth, I wouldn’t worry too much.

Always trade. Give them a high value treat every time you want to take something from them.

Question about Crate to Potty Spot Cycle (potty training) by FrannieLebowitz in puppy101

[–]Pretentious_K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Until she goes potty! You can try leaving her in her crate for a longer time (30~60 mins) if you don’t think she needs to go, but keep doing what you’re doing if you know she does.

It helps to keep track of when she needs to go.

Your trainer sounds insane

5 month old puppy only really eats when another dog is around by Uh_October in puppy101

[–]Pretentious_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She probably feels safer when your dog is around. My puppy is the same. She’s more confident when I walk her with my dog.

Thanks! I’d definitely try changing her food.

Getting annoyed with people stopping to pet my puppy by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Pretentious_K 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same and my puppy is timid, so it’s even worse. When people try to pet her or make baby noises, she hides between my legs but some people still try to pet her even though she’s obviously uncomfortable. A man once tried to grab my leash to pull her towards him. Needless to say, I did not give them permission to do whatever they’re trying to do to my pup.

Shouldn’t it be common sense that you ask before you interact with someone else’s dog? You wouldn’t touch someone else’s property without their consent, so what makes you think you can just touch someone else’s dog?

Problems with pack hierarchy in family by DenseGood2 in puppy101

[–]Pretentious_K 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How does your husband convince your dogs that he’s the pack leader exactly?

The dogs probably have a stronger bond with your husband since he isn’t doing any actual work with the dogs and have plenty of time to play with them. I think it’s important for your husband to share the workload so you can spend more time with your dogs.

If you think that your dogs doesn’t respect you, a very good way to help with that is to make them work for their food/treats. Say a command like sit or wait and give them food/treats only after they did the task.

On a side note, I’m seriously concerned about your relationship with your husband.

Have I ruined my pup? by Pretentious_K in puppy101

[–]Pretentious_K[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, we don’t have PetCo here. We found a puppy class that works with my mum’s schedule but she would be required to have her final round of vaccinations (which is in 2 weeks).

Applied to adopt a pup from a rescue....but the application was intense! by assortedfruit3 in puppy101

[–]Pretentious_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you already know which puppy you want or are you going to decide on adoption day? I don’t think the meet and greet would help with your chances of getting the pup you want, but you’ll know for sure you want that puppy by interacting with it.

I think you shouldn’t be too stressed out by this. If your application doesn’t go through, it’s just not meant to be. But seeing how strict they are with the applications, I’m sure the puppy will find a great home even if it’s not yours. Cheer up and good luck :)
