Difference of opinion on training
|
|
If my husband thinks we should do something a certain way, I just ignore him. 
Thankfully, what he says... will be something he later forgets about or a lack of consistency. So............ he ends up just waiting for me to train the dog(s), and my method is what he'll use. This works great for when my husband wants to do something crazy to the house. I just say "okay, that sounds great" and let the crazy idea pass.  |

I have to try this with Billy. I usually say... We really don't have the money for it. Maybe if I wholeheartedly agree that its something I want too? Then he would forget about it. He always seems to forget about the things I want. 
Steph, to answer your question... Hubby has pissed me off in the dept. I use the down command for lying down. He uses it to get the dogs off the couch... No matter how many time I tell him to use the word "off" instead because he is going to confuse the dogs. He never listens. Also the dogs just look at him oddly when he says down when they are already lying down... They won't move until I say off. lol
Since I spend the most time with them... What I say goes! |
Whom ever can hold out on the silent treatment wins  Usually ME! |
| My husband deflects everything to me anyhow so there's no problem there. If Duke is doing something my husband doesn't like, he'll tell me to tell my dog that's unacceptable. For some reason or another, I find this humorous. At least there's no discrepency in training. |

We actually take the dogs' behavior pretty seriously. Now that we have three of them we're still ironing out any kinks we have in the relationships between the dogs and us. We want to raise Bear to be a good guy that's well socialized with humans and other animals and, since he's bred to guard, we really have to work to keep him out and meeting people and doing the right things now. We do the same stuff (reward or discipline) every day unless something happens that's out of the ordinary and we talk about how to fix it while we're in bed at night before we go to sleep. We both have read a lot of stuff on the Web and we both really like Cesar-- James even more than me. We'll try things that we've read that are applicable for the situation and, then we talk about it again, usually in bed again. We never usually wind up disagreeing about training methods because you can really argue with something that works. If one person's method doesn't work, we try the other one. It's the one time where we don't care who's right as long as the dogs are happy and well adjusted! |
| I usually defer to my husband for behavior issues since I am way too easy on them; I'm generally in charge of medical things because I do the research and read the books. The one area we truly disagree on is treats: he gives too many |
