Dang...I think your boyfriend has a serious respect issue. I don't want to go causing problems in your relationship - but does he do this with other things also? Like, other than the dog? I think you need to sit him down and have a very serious discussion about what he's doing to your dog, and what he's doing to you. To me, it looks like he doesn't respect you or stand by your decisions, something that a partner should be willing to do. Let him know why you feel certain things need to be the way you say - such as:
dairy and other high fat foods can cause pancreatitis in little ones, so they shouldn't have them
not being punished for doing bad things will not allow them to learn that they are misbehaving, and the older they get the harder it is to teach them
being rewarded for doing nothing will create a rude, spoiled dog. They need to be rewarded for doing things, but they shouldn't be rewarded for nothing.
I would maybe try that, and see if he maybe sees things your way a bit more...Good luck!!!!! |
