I will try to stay strong. This process gets to me at times. its exhausting and is best if I take it in parts.
I had a positive thing happened last night. I made a break through with the Dog. have been training him for a while now and finally I am seeing some results. I was thinking if I show my W that I am the man that can control the dog it would be a positive thing. The dog as my S4 says will only listen to me now. We are seeing improvement and that only reflects back at me very good as the man in charge and the dog listens to me.
It is given me more confidence. It has shown the kids how to command the dog and has helped with the order of things dog related. S4 last night told the dog to sit and stay, just like I would and for the first time the dog listened. He was able to walk out of the room and the dog did not jump on him and just watched him leave the room in a sit stay.
It was a break through. This dog used to listen to no one. The dog now still will not show any respect for W. So when he gets out of control with her she calls me and I come to the rescue.
So a positive update on my GAL dog training.
