YT 1000 Club Member | Why does your husband hate(strong word) her? Did he all of a sudden start disliking her and demand you take her to a shelter/rescue or has it been a slow progression? I think more information on the why would give us insight into better options for your particular situation. Last edited by ColesMommy01; 06-20-2015 at 11:28 AM. |

| Offload the husband......stick with the one that loves you unconditionally and would probably die for you....go with loyalty, devotion, kindness, genuine good heart....stick with the pup, get rid of the husband. Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 06-20-2015 at 12:02 PM. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | You need to tell us why your husband hates her, does she have behavioral problems?

My stance on dogs barking is almost the same as when having a young child. Are they hungry? Need to use the bathroom? Bored and want to play? Made a mess? If all of those things are taken care of, Lexi can wait until you've finished what you're attempting to accomplish and she'll be just fine. You have to start ignoring her at times so you can get things done. Maybe buy her interactive/chew toys to keep her occupied or have a walk/play session to tire her out so she won't bark as much.

YT 1000 Club Member | If you've been feeding her some of your food, I would expect her to bark since she probably thinks it's her food as well. I would personally stop feeding her any food that isn't for her specified meals/ treats and crate her during your/your husband's mealtimes. |

YT 1000 Club Member | Yes, sometimes people do take out their frustrations with the spouse/significant other out in many ways. Although this isn't a marriage forum, may I suggest some type of counseling to get to the root of whatever problem(s) you may be experiencing? People say things out of anger and frustration that they really don't mean, they just want to hit people where it hurts. Your husband knows you love your dog and knows that's where to "hit" you. |

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | A dog that barks all the time is very annoying! I suggest you get back to No barking basics - there are several good threads here on the training forum that speak to this. Is she also destructive in the house - is she housetrained - is she a nipper? Feeding people food from the table is not a good idea for the health of your dog and obedience training. I have my dogs sit/lay outside the kitchen when my family are eating. It will take about 2wks at least for her to start to get the idea. And you have to be very persistent. I usually have a treat bowl by the near kitchen door and if a dog comes they are escorted out then intermittently through out the meal I will get up and reward the dog for obeying the out command. A well behaved and trained dog is a joy to be around - so start her back up on her simple obedience training. Exercise her lots for a tired dog is also a good dog (usually)
