My guess is, that the problem is not about liking but about "pack order". I'm not quite sure how to explain it but maybe you are a step under your husband in the pack order and maybe a step under Champ too. There are really good books out there about that and it might help if you get familiar with those "pack rules" and then it will change Champs behaviour.
Since I'm the one that does all the "bad" stuff to Mitzi like bathing, brushing, toe nail clipping etc. I'm not on top of her list either and I made the experience that I should not do those things while we are on our cuddle and tummy rub place but take her to another place where we do all those things. Now she knows she can come on my lab when I'm on the couch and nothing "bad" will happen to her.
I wish you'll find out how to climb up in the pack order and have more fun! |
