Although it will take some time. And some dogs, and in some breeds, there is a genetic tendency to bond closest to one individual. That is not to say they don't love you, or respect you.
For our home, all our dogs and our cat for that matter, have bonded closest to me. It is just the way it went.
I will tell you that even now at almost seven years old, Magic doesn't truly like to leave home on a walk with Dad, if I am staying inside. But walk on he now does. As a puppy hubby could not get him farther than the end of the driveway
That lasted a good month or so. And our home is the only one he has known.
Mostly the dogs stay in what-ever room I am in, although if Dad has an afternoon nap, they might wander into our bedroom for a lay down.
So don't you think it is something necessarily you are doing wrong. Follow the suggestions above and see how it goes for you.
