I’m a SAHM and my husband works 7 days a week. Our dog is almost 3 years old, half husky and half mini Australian shepherd. I’m the one who feeds her, bathes her, trained her, walks her, and plays with her. My husband will occasionally pet her or toss a ball for a couple of minutes, but otherwise I’m her main caregiver.
We took her in after our best friend (my husband’s friend of 20+ years) passed away, when she was just a year old.
Here’s my issue: when I try to recall her from the fenced-in backyard, I have to try every trick in the book and she’s super stubborn. But when my husband calls her just once, she comes right in. She’s very submissive with him, but not with me.
How can I get her to listen to me as well as she listens to him?
