MY NEW PUPPY BARKS AT MY HUSBAND! I NEED HELP!

This is a place to gain some understanding of dog behavior and to assist people in training their dogs and dealing with common behavior problems, regardless of the method(s) used. This can cover the spectrum from non-aversive to traditional methods of dog training. There are many ways to train a dog.

Keep in mind that you may be receiving advice from other dog owners and lovers... not professionals. If you have a major problem, always seek the advice of a trainer or behaviorist!

There could be so many reasons for that. How much "Linus" stuff does your husband do? As in walks, feeding, playing, etc.If the dog feels you are the one that needs protecting... The more my She did for me, the more I look for her to do it, if that makes sense.

Try having your pack (all of your family and other dogs) walk before your dog eats. this is pack bonding time. Make sure your husband eats before your dog.

Try having your husband do this:

Say the dogs name. At the same time, he should put a high value trat in the dogs mouth. Everytime he says the name, use a different tone (angry, sad, happy loud ect). Repeat, repeat, repeat.

My husband is the one the dogs worship. I'm the one who has to work at it. I think it is the poptarts he feeds them. dancing

Actually, he is the one who s home all day while I am at work. who is home more, your or your husband?
