When I first started dating my fiance he was sure my three GSD's were viscious killers! After a year of dating and getting to know the dogs he became their biggest fan! We have been together now three years, lived together for the last 2 and unfortunatley we have lost our old girl Trouble about 1 year ago. He is inseperable from my male Arco that just turned 12yrs old. He can barely stand when Arco is gone to the groomer for a few hours! It is really pretty funny!! He acutally said that he wanted to get me a new puppy for my birthday but knows I need to be the one to pick it out as he is not knowledgeable in that area! Thought that was really sweet!! My step son loves the dogs just wishes they were younger and more playful!! My 11mo old son loves his Arco, he is always giving him hugs and feeding him his snacks! Hope he grows up enjoying the dogs and wanting to train and compete with them as much as I do. I am so ready for a new puppy to start training again and I know the boys would love to have a new puppy around too!

No, my husband likes dogs but really doesn't care about training or even what breed. I have GSDs, he has a mutt from a rescue (who I love just the same). He takes care of my dogs when I'm not around and helps when I ask but is otherwise hands-off. My dogs respect him and listen to him but do not respond the same way as they would to me like when we are competing in a trial.

my boyfriend and I do not live together and if we did he would surely be insane on my dogs because they are not the most quiet and calm dog can get loool
they steal food from tables and is very sound loool
after all it is a little annoying sometimes but I've gotten used to it, but they would surely be an advantage that he liked and train dogs like me

What do you do about a household member who loves all animals and would stop traffic to save a turtle, but just doesn't get it when it comes to being a pack leader? Wants to be the dog's friend, lets the dog do whatever he wants, practices excitement, doesn't reinforce correct behavior, etc? Not everything wrong all the time, but often enough to be worrisome. I wonder if this will confuse the dog, or will the dog accept one person as pack leader and just tolerate the other?
Past experience is that we will have problems down the road but we were committed to doing better this time. So far, not so much. Believe me, what the dog needs has been discussed at length by myself and a trainer, plus other instructional materials, but the instincts and timing are just off. Some people are too laid back or easygoing to own certain breeds, maybe, and should stick to cats...or turtles! Still, it's hard to eliminate interaction with someone living in the house who really likes the dog. Hopefully, it will not be a big deal.

My whole family loves our dogs. My husband has a tender heart for them (and our cats). Our 21 yr old son will be out of college after next year and he wants a gsd when he gets his own home. Our 18 yr old daughter likes smaller dogs, but sure is glad we have gsds when she is home alone or gets scared. One night she and I watched a scary movie. After the movie she took our male gsd with her in the bathroom while she took a shower and she made him check her closet and look under the bed when she went into her room. Our dogs are a part of our family and a big part of our lives.

I understand your frustration, I have a friend who has a problem with putting it through to her aussie and she will not take hold of the dog so it understands who decides the dog is crazy and fairly aggressive and very protective of her;
I think the coach and be put in place
