I feel so bad for you but the information given above is excellent.
Living alone with just Buddy I don't have that problem however he
did try to be alpha in more ways than I like to remember. We worked
it out over time. They are stubburn dogs and try very hard to have their way.
Perhaps if you aren't already, take over feeding him.
Eat first with the family then only you feed him. Make him sit while you put the food down then release him. Let him rely on you for his needs and see if he comes around.
Good luck, I hope it works and you can get closer to your pet. |
