Dana, Im going to have to agree with all the others.....Your home, your dog, your rules......If BF cant behave, smack his butt, and kick him out of the house until HE learns to behave. Weather he agrees with the way you do things or not, he has not right to intrude on your dogs life so harshly and abruptly, you cant talk to a dog and explain to them in words what the changes around the home are all about, of course she is going to be scared and intimidated, if someone is waltzing into her home, and treating her more harshly than she has ever known before.
Whilst puppy classes are always reccomended, he just needs to learn to butt out, this is your dog and home we are talking about and he has no right taking over, for no real reason but those of his own benifit, self importance and need for control. (Which is no good reason whatsoever)
You, for everybodys future happiness need to lay the law down now, and put a stop to this sort of behaviour before it becomes intolerable to you......hes lucky she hasnt bitten him in reaction to his approach........keep an eye out for signs, if he drives her hard enough she may bite out of fear and self preservation.......What would be his reaction to that?
GOOD LUCK, HOPE THAT YOU CAN FIND A HAPPY RESOLVE. |
