I too wonder what is going on in his head. fostermom is right, your DH should give the dog some space too. a little aloofness shown by both of you probably would help him understand in his place in the family.
here is something my dogs will do that I don't quite understand. I do almost all the training. we both feed them, requiring a sit stay release to their food. sometimes I think my dogs are more "affectionate" with my husband, but as the years go by, I realize it is that they respect me more. they obey me more. strangely, they are more comfortable with him hugging, etc. but will do anything I ask. they blow him off if they feel like it.
not sure why I offer this, just have often wondered if we really know why dogs act the way they do, and how to properly interpret their actions is tough. |
