1.

you beat the dog, you got what you wanted, he's scared of you, that's why he won't look you in the eye, you won.
He looks his momma in the eye because he's not scared of her, she never beat him up.
2. When I open the door to the deck he will not go out unless I go first and he will stand at the door to see if its okay to come out. If she was to open the door he will probably go first.
He will not go out first because he's afraid of you, scared he may get kicked if he goes out first. He'll got out first if his momma opens the door because she never beat him up. Like I wrote You won, you wanted this wee little dog to fear you, so he does.
3. He is more obedient to her when it comes to tricks he doesn't do tricks as much as he will for her and I think its because I spanked him in the past. I read that dominant dogs are stubborn.
Doing tricks are fun, he has FUN with his momma, with you he gets beat up.
5. Whining: He never whines to me ever when its just me and him, he always whines to her to get his way with her and she gives in. he also will whine to me when shes around usually when I stop playing with him and if he whines I will ignore it.
Be happy he even plays with you after what you did (more then just once)
Any opinions? what you all think? what do you think is going on his head haha
What's going on in his head is, when will you beat him up again.
This wee little dog is NOT the dominant one, YOU ARE. You are the dominant, controlling person. You can't dominant, control ppl so you you beat up a little dog to get fear and control from him. Does this make you feel more like a "man"?

I agree with her as well.. I haven't read your last post about you spanking your puppy.. But you shouldn't have used negative reinforcement on him at all.. Maybe it'd help if you see a CGC trainer or something. My puppy is in middle of CGC and I see all these puppies getting rid of their fears and it also teaches the owners how to properly handle the dog.
I don't think the puppy sees you as a *pack leader*, but just someone that he's afraid of. If you want to fix this problem, please do see an animal behaviorist or a dog trainer. But as I said, CGC should help..
