Why does my husband think I don’t know what I’m talking about?

The first dog we had I fully trained because my husband was barely home. Of course, my husband still messed up some of the training, but I got the basics in at least.

This time he works from home (ever since COVID). I’ve been working from home for 16 years now.

Anyway, he’s around during the day, but he won’t follow my very easy training steps. As in use the command “no” instead of stop it, knock it off, or bad… because consistency. He can’t handle that. Seems “no” is hard to remember.

I’ve also asked him nicely not to play with the puppy with just his hands. Puppy thinks hands are now toys. He will randomly start biting at me. Thankfully his teeth aren’t all in.

Anyway, it’s not like my marriage is all peachy, but why can’t he even attempt to properly train the puppy? I’m about to build a dog house to put my husband in!!! Just more things to fester inside.

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

@Frostcloud yes! What makes it worse is the puppy has fully attached to him too. So, I’m the mean parent. Wheeee
