My dog always follows my wife around. I've tried loving him and feeding him and giving him lots of attention. Do you have any suggestions so he will follow me around like I am his master not my wife. Because i am the boss of the house and he should follow me.
Answers:
Are you sure you are the boss of the house? Because dogs usually attach themselves to the person they think of as the alpha. lol
Seriouly, You can't make a dog like you more. Male dogs sometimes prefer females or some dogs just relate to one person better.
Don't worry about it and don't blame your wife or the dog.
I could be wrong but all of my male dogs have been more attached to me and the females attached to the significant other. I am the alpha in the house and I raised him since he was a pup and he knows only me as alpha. Sounds like you're a bit jealous but you shouldn't be. Or maybe you're not really the boss of the house?
Wow, I think you have issues!
Why not take him to a obedience training coruse?
It maybe that attitude why he follows your wife.
Go to basic obedience classes. Or get another dog
"I'm the boss of the house"- WOW! I'd hate to be your wife.
Not helping you.
Ha, I wish my dog would follow my wife sometimes.
You can always try a bribe carry some treats around he might follow you then, but I would also make him do something for the treat such as a simple sit.
Well it could be your tone of voice. I know that some dogs are scared of really low voices. Or it could just be the matter of sex. I have 2 pups. One likes me and one likes the man.
You might be the boss of the house, but are you the boss of your dog? There's a difference between being bossy and being Alpha dog, maybe your dog has bonded more with your wife than with you, it happens and you'll have to get over it. when I'm gone all day my dog will bond with my sister since she's at home all day, even when I come home at night she likes to lie next to my sister. I know I'm alpha dog, I don't need her following me everywhere to prove I'm the boss of the house. Try being the one that feeds him at night, the one that takes him for his nightly walks, plays with him when you get home, reestablish your role in the pack.
Make sure you're pack leader, a dog won't follow you just because you own the house.
Just because your the boss of the house means he should follow you. You don't have my pity. Maybe be a little nicer and gentle. Give your puppy unconditional love, they feel when it's not real and your trying to hard and for different reasons. Be happy he follows your wife around, that means she must be a super gal. Do me a favor, get your own dog gone dog.
