Your abilities are tremendous!! I think hubby should be going for training!!

He isn't hearing you, he is hearing noise. What I mean is, he hears what you are saying, but it comes across as noise and he doesn't pay attention to what you are saying.

Sounds like he needs more training than the puppy.

I could have written this verbatim. Hubs came after my first dog (we had gone through intense obedience training). Hubs thought he knew better and I told him the dog was here first and he could stay or go.

Hubs still thinks he knows better than I with our two now. I informed him that when he starts feeding them and spending more time with them then he can provide input. If he cannot join the established training then he can go live with his hunting dogs in the woods.

He now keeps his criticisms to himself and uses my instructions.

ugh idk. everyone ignores me when when i set rules for the dog like "dont rile them up after they eat" or "dont let them eat x" or "actually the best way to train them is x" no one takes me seriously. its so frustrating and it feels impossible training a dog if only one person is following the guidelines

Well, my advice for a successful marriage is to treat each other with respect and communicate.

Perhaps because women most often speak from a place of emotion, not necessarily fact.

I guess you got things out of order, need to train the husband first, when he responds properly off leash to commands then you can get a puppy.

I’m about to build a dog house to put my husband in!!!

Makes you a cup of tea … oh honey your sense of humour is beautiful

Hold on to that 🤗

No relationship is peachy but you’re self dependent in body , mind and spirit

Take a breather and remember time shifts emotions into a new and positive place eventually 🌹

So what is really wrong with your marriage. I know it isn't the dog or how each of you are treating it.
