He won't relax with her on the bed. Sometimes we think he may have to go pee. So I bring him to the pen to pee and instead he lies down... he won't play. So, after 5-10 minutes in the pen with him I bring him back to her and he will not relax!
When my girlfriend first went to look at the puppy, he seemed to be very attached to the husband. Could this affection have been transferred over to me?
Our next step is to put a piece of clothing that smells like her in his crate.
I have some more questions, but will put them in another post... my search function is not working! |
Yes, absolutely. It's more common for dogs to prefer women to men, but it can work the other way too.
In that case, it shouldn't bother your gf too much. You haven't even had the puppy a week yet, right? He may just need to learn that girls are fun too.
