dog barking at husband?

I haven't really had this happen to me, but you could try having your husband stand outside and wait for your dog to stop barking. Then the moment she stops, you give her a treat. Try not to be tense when you're doing this, since she can sense that. Have your husband stand at one end of a room and your dog on the other, and if she starts looking afraid, have him turn sideways and look away from her. Have him toss some treats at her and slowly decrease the distance between the two of them until he can give her treats from his hand. Praise her quietly, and stay calm!!! Like I said, I don't know much about this type of thing, but it's something to try. I hope it helps.

Having a trained dog isn’t the same as having a balanced dog, but if your dog knows a few basic commands, it can be helpful when tackling problem behaviors — existing ones or those that may develop in the future. Learn here https://tr.im/qadDG

So where do you start with dog obedience training? You could take a class, but it’s not necessary; you can do it yourself. In fact, with the right attitude, it can be fun for both you and your dog!

Step 1 : Sit

This is one of the easiest dog obedience commands to teach, so it’s a good one to start with.

• Hold a treat close to your dog’s nose.

• Move your hand up, allowing his head to follow the treat and causing his bottom to lower.

• Once he’s in sitting position, say “Sit,” give him the treat, and share affection.

Repeat this sequence a few times every day until your dog has it mastered. Then ask your dog to sit before mealtime, when leaving for walks, and during other situations where you’d like him calm and seated.

Step 2 : Come

This command can help keep a dog out of trouble, bringing him back to you if you lose grip on the leash or accidentally leave the front door open.

• Put a leash and collar on your dog.

• Go down to his level and say, “Come,” while gently pulling on the leash.

• When he gets to you, reward him with affection and a treat.

Once he’s mastered it with the leash, remove it — and practice the command in a safe, enclosed area.

Step 3 : Down

This can be one of the more difficult commands in dog obedience training. Why? Because the position is a submissive posture. You can help by keeping training positive and relaxed, particularly with fearful or anxious dogs.

• Find a particularly good smelling treat, and hold it in your closed fist.

• Hold your hand up to your dog’s snout. When he sniffs it, move your hand to the floor, so he follows.

• Then slide your hand along the ground in front of him to encourage his body to follow his head.

• Once he’s in the down position, say “Down,” give him the treat, and share affection.

Repeat it every day. If your dog tries to sit up or lunges toward your hand, say “No” and take your hand away. Don’t push him into a down position, and encourage every step your dog takes toward the right position. After all, he’s working hard to figure it out!

Hey there,

Understanding how to train your dog and how to correct bad behaviours is very important. That's why I suggest to follow a good training course. There are plenty of books and training material. One online course I recommend (I like it because it has hundreds of videos) is http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=572

It helped me a lot.

Bye

Have you tried throwing that dog in the garbage can and getting a new dog? It's obviously a lemon.
