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.

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.

@Ontheroad I get ya. I don’t say much to him ever because of it. I’m probably one of the few wives who don’t nag. It’s not worth my time.
