[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m with you, but I’d just rehome the dog.  Your husband doesn’t respect you.  You both sound like old people, stubborn, liking to complain but not doing anything about it.[/quote]

I’m doing something about it! From hiring a dog trainer who comes weekly and now doggie day care.  My DH wasn’t thinking when he decided to do this and I know 100% he regrets it and has apologized to me.  Undisciplined dogs are my nemesis and I know she’s a puppy but like I’ve mentioned I have zero patience at this age.  Hopefully like one PP said maybe I will eventually grow to love her.  But that will only happen when she becomes a disciplined well mannered animal like the dogs  Ive raised in my past.  Even dogs Ive lived with with ex’s were extremely disciplined! Rottweiler & pit bull.  But these men had what it took to raise obedient dogs, my DH doesn’t. He has zero discipline skills and treats his animals better than people. If he had it his way she would be sleeping in our bed, laying on the furniture, drooling on the dinner table while he feeds her from his plate etc...   She  would be the pack leader with no boundaries.   I know this because this is how he has lived with ALL his dogs. At one point 3 slept in his bed and I’m not talking teacup chihuahuas but 70lb breeds.  My DH knows I won’t live that way with any animal!  I’m sure he wishes I was that type of woman.  We do have plenty of friends who live like this with their animals and I think it’s absurd and gross.    [/quote]

Hiring a dog trainer is a good first step, but they show YOU how to train and give you homework. You have to keep up with it each week. An hour once a week with a trainer will not train your dog.

Hopefully your Dh will step up and do most of it but if you don’t do it too, the dog will learn not to listen to you.

You say you’ve raised dogs in the past. It does not seem true. You have been around well trained dogs in the past and expect it. You have not done the work that requires it. You say you might grow to love it once it’s well behaved and disciplined, again, if you didn’t put in the work it will not love you back or even respect you.

It does not seem like you trust your husband enough to do the work either. So between the two of you, this dog does not have a bright future in your home.
Please try to convince your husband to rehome.

Quite frankly, I’m curious how he even got the puppy? Most rescues and reputable breeders will want to know if every family member is on board. I have a rescue for who I had to do 2 interviews and a home check with each family member present. I have another dog from a breeder and it is stated clearly in the contract.

Give me a break! I’ve raised the most obedient dogs ever. Because I don’t put up with any bs and they know who the pack leader is. My DH is clueless when it comes to animals. For some reason dogs ignore him and do wtf they want.  
It’s very easy to purchase an animal from a breeder!!! All they care about is the green. Now the humane society is a different story. They’d rather euthanize an animal then let someone adopt it that didn’t pass their ridiculous questionnaire.  I’ve purchased numerous pure breed cats and dogs from breeders and none cared about anything except the cash.  Never once has a breeder asked about my living arrangements etc...[/quote]
