I think OP that you can see the problem , but you have let your dog misbehave and failed to train the dog. That is not good for the dog, for you or your BF. Your BF has given you a long time to step up. The dog is all over his property, and it is not considerate for you to let the problem go on and on.
I think it is good that you ask for help on training. I hope that you get some good training on how to set boundaries for your dog and you let your BF know that you respect his boundaries too. Good luck with BF and your pup! |
Correct.....solve the problem and send the BF back to his OWN living space, as HE is the intruder into this pups living space, NOT the other way around. If YOU had moved with your dog, into the boyfriends home/living space, then fine, BF can complain and issue ultimatums. However, BF has moved into the pups home.....BF needs to help solve any issue HE has with the set up, including but not limited to, paying for additional training methods for the pup, or returning to his OWN living space and leaving the pup to his.....
(I will remind others that in my initial post, I did encourage training the pup...you can not let the pup use your living space as his toilet, unchecked...nasty and ugly and stinky.....but I have NEVER let a man move his sorry but into MY home, with MY dog and ME, then start issuing rules and recommendations for change....I would never tolerate that.)
I am from a generation where a RESPECTABLE MAN would not move into a woman's living space, then demand changes be made to accommodate his cheap a$$. Those "men" were known as Gigolos in my generation and were rated lower on the "Scale Respectability" than whale turds. Sorry, "new generationers"....that is the way it was old school.....and I certainly would never get rid of a tried and true and loyal and loving friend, to accommodate a man....but that is from years and years of first hand experience dealing with and watching men and relationships rise and fall by the wayside. Trust me, that pup will be devoted to you long after that man hits the highway at a trot!
