Besides, it sounds as if you are still very young and maybe you two should live and mature a little more and tend to your careers before you make such a big commitment... dog or children...

And one more thing... it's too bad but you just can't "testdrive" a dog (or a child) and if it's not what you expected just give it back or away and try out another one...

Ha, Heidi was attached to the dog the minute we got it...from that moment on, there was no turning back...even if a "testdrive" was possible, she wouldn't have let go of it.

With children, you can communicate very well...dogs, not being human, are not as easy to communicate with...obviously, without a common language, your'e in a hard place.

I know if I were a child and you grabed me and it hurt Just because I wouldn't come YES I would HIDE.

LOL....Heidi said that she'd get rid of the dog if I made her do it.

I was talking about if it was up to her.

I'm her relationship of 3 years...the dog has been with her for 1 week. Trust me. All I have to do is exert pressure, and the dog would be gone.

But I'm a bigger person than that....I'm not doing that.

I didn't grab it simply b/c it wouldn't come, I grabbed it because BOTH Heidi and I were running after it to catch it so we could scold it for crapping on the carpet.

Oh...and in case you want further proof the dog doesn't come before me, daisy-mae, all I have to do is tell Heidi I want "Chris and Heidi" time....

...and she puts away the dog immediately and comes upstairs with me. No asking twice. Seriously, putting a dog before your significant other is silly.

(Edit: And I do that sometimes just so I don't have to have the dog around me. Works like a charm.)

Never scold it for going in the house its your fault cause you werent watching
praise him for going in the right spots

GIve the puppy more time!! you got it recently and you are not at home that much; you cannot expect him to be attached to you that way, especially if there is someone else in the house who spends more time with him. Take him on walks, feed him, do stuff that an owner does, so he feels you are also the pack leader. And also, do not put the dog under pressure, he know if you are mad at him, and he''l be more scared of you.
Personally, I wouldn't rehome a dog unless he's putting the a member of the family in danger. But if I had a dog that just prefers to be with another member of the family, I would get a dog that would prefer me

Oh you are sooo very young & jealous! rehome the dog... you definately are not ready for dogs or children yet either.

Graleyne · 06-11-2007, 08:43 AM

A child can and will do all of those things! Communication with a young child is difficult as well.

I agree, if Heidi is not willing to rehome the dog at all, then the two of you are not on the same page about him after all (as you stated in one of your ealier posts).

daisy mae06 · 06-11-2007, 08:44 AM

How old is your Pup ? How long have you had HIM and Please what is his name??? Gess Dude You really are getting to me with the (IT'S) You can't train a dog in one day, and Positve training works better than being a bully and I think that is what you are doing!
