| Strangers in our House
Emergency!!
My parents are visiting for the week and I can't get Kaiser to settle down around my father. He's fine with my mom, and I understand that men get the worst of a dog's territorialness. I expected that when they first arrived, and I tried to introduce everyone in a happy way, dad petted Kai (tho he does not like dogs near him, licking him etc.) Kaiser seemed to accept that at first, even looked somewhat submissive at the first introduction, but since then, every time my dad gets up to move from where he was sitting or comes into the room, Kai barks and charges at him. Dad's not helping much, throwing his hands up, and as DNeff said to Miabella, Kai succeeds in driving off the intruder because my father is understandably concerned!
Consequently, Kai spends most of his time outside and sleeps in the laundry room. When I let him back in the house he runs straight to dad (much to my father's chagrin) to check him out but he only barks at him when he gets up.
They'll be here for a couple more days. Any help out there? Am I expecting too much from Kaiser?
