K.. so Daisy is going through her terrible 2's I think.
Here's the thing...in the past few weeks I have noticed that she is more obediant to my husband. If he is in the room she wants nothing to do with me. If I call her she goes and gets in his lap in a hurry.
Does any one think this is because I am the one who does all the bathing and grooming, I also am at home with her more. When he is not around she comes to me better and when called and listens more.
He also spoils and gives more treats..which I do not approve of as often as he gives. On the other hand he has really spanked her more, or should I say really "spanked" her harder than I have. ( Do you think this is a respect thing)? she knows he means buisness!
Maybe she knows that I am a push over! I do disipline but am not as harsh.Also she lets him hold her and cuddle, but not with me.
Any suggestions?
The whole situation is making me kinda sad. We already have a older dog who is really "his". Not that she doesn't love me, but you can see a difference in her when he's home. This little one was supposed to be my baby...and I feel that she is bonding more to him. Not that I am jealous or want her not to love him, I would just like to be equal.
