Thread: Bo

Originally Bo was going to be an outside dog but my wife seems to think otherwise and he's been allowed to come inside which has added a new dimension to his training. Something of concern is that if I discipline him for something naughty like chewing on something he shouldn't or doing a wee on the floor he seems to understand, usually it will be a short "no!" and then place him outside for a bit and he's slowly getting the picture, but.... When my wife trys to assert any kind of authority over him he displays signs of "piss off woman, I don't care what you think! " and will sometimes bark or growl at her or snap his teeth. At first it was kind of funny, and I must admit I still find it amusing that he will listen to me but bark at her if she tells him off.
I know this is undesirable behaviour though and I assume he is "testing" her to see how serious she is. Any advice on dealing with the issue? It seems counter intuitive for me to have to step in and discipline him but it seems she follows the exact same procedures as I but he doesn't care when it comes from her.
