Hey guys! Haven't been in awhile (although I lurk every now & then...I'll give an update in the appropriate section)...
But could really use your help.
Oakley's time in the bed needs to come to an end, and he has been doing great with me. It's only been for about a week now (finally realized leashing him to his bed was a really dumb idea). Was just rewarding him everytime he got in his bed, then telling him 'off' everytime he jumped in the bed. He caught on really quickly. Still tries to get in in the mornings, but whatever, surprisingly well overall.
EXCEPT for when my boyfriend is around. He is an absolute nightmare. He will whine & whine & bark endlessly. We've tried to wait it out, but we both have roomies & over 2+ hours of barking with zero signs of stopping is just crazy. He whines a little bit with me, but settles down in under 5 minutes.
WHAT GIVES!!!??? He loooooves my boyfriend - they get along fantastically from what I can tell. He does tend to be way rowdier/misbehave more when he is around though.
My bf is definitely willing to get involved in training, I just have no idea what to do.
THANKS GUYS
