Am I being an ****?

Yep, the only one who does the training is me, the only one who lets him off the lead is me, if I'm late home from work my wife or daughter takes him out for long lead walk.

 

As someone has already stated from Joe Irving 'the person who gives the dog freedom is God',so far this has worked for me, I am the only one the dog has time for.

I have a similar situation with my GF's two teenagers. I will be laying down the law again tonight when I see them. The dog lives with my GF who is able to take her to work (which enabled me to get her - I'm out 12 hours a day). The pup is just 8 months so I need to nip things in the bud, bud expect sullen faces and a few moans.

 

I shall be moving in a couple of weeks so I will be able to spend much more time with the dog.

Well as my grandfather used to tell me..... I've been keeping my powder dry :whistling: and as for the past few weeks things are alot better. My foot finally hit the floor and he's no longer invited out for excursions. at 15 weeks I don't take him out for more than 10 mins at a time do a few basic things with him (play etc) I'm very happy in that most of the time he will just sit in front of me and give me a good eye... waiting. without me doing anything. I can understand why the books say the problem with novice's is they push on too fast.... it is so very tempting!
