Re: Difference between me and my husband! [quote author=Hollysdad link=topic=10474.msg154633#msg154633 date=1428267033] Most of the time we're consistent with commands and behaviour so Holly ignores us both equally. [/quote] ;D ;D ;D
Re: Difference between me and my husband! [quote author=JulieT link=topic=10474.msg154707#msg154707 date=1428307857] I've been known to say "can you leave the kitchen so I can do the dishwasher?". [/quote] ;D ;D ;D I'm a bit like this with saucepans, bowls, plastic boxes... "Leave it to me because I know how to stack them in incremental sizes.". :
Re: Difference between me and my husband! Same as Hollysdad. My wife and I were both involved in Sara's training. Now at 8 months, Sara ignores both of us and my wife and I ignore each other.
Re: Difference between me and my husband! There IS only one way to stack a dishwasher. My way. It is sensible. It makes emptying it easy-peasy. As for dogs! I ask only 2 things when OH has Scooby on his lead at the weekend. Don't let him pull all the way and don't let him poo in long grass/thorny bits (walk him on the left, in the shorter grass please). He (OH) completely ignores me and does his own thing..leaving me to pick up poo in long grass & sharp bag-ripping thorns and to struggle with a pulling dog again on a Monday morning. I offer to swap dogs, Belle is much easier to walk, but he won't have it. Grrr.
Re: Difference between me and my husband! I'm the one who takes H to all his training classes, hubby has come along once or twice to watch. I do the longer morning walk and hubby will often do the evening walk. I give him his dinner and Hubby gives him breakfast. I'm nearly there with walking nicely on lead without pulling, Hubby holds the lead tighter so H pulls back. Hubby teaches him silly things like calling H a poodle to make him bark! Or to go mental when hubby says the c-a-t word. I've worked really hard on recall. Today we went off to a new place for a walk together. H runs around off lead smelling and sniffing, I call him back - nope, absolutely no response H continues with not even a look our way. I rattle his treat bag, nothing. Hubby calls once H stops immediately looks up and bounds back towards him and does a perfect sit next to him!
