I have a little Yorkie who is almost a year old. I just adore him and will admit to spoiling him. My husband bought him for me and we trained him together.
While the dog does not have many accidents he still has some. I believe these "accidents" are actually submissive peeing out of fear and intimidation from my husband. My husband believes that the dog needs to know who the boss is and that is ok to spank a dog. He also does not understand why the dog will not always come to him when called. I have tried to explain to him repeatedly that the dog does not come because he is afraid of him because he is to strict and harsh.
Do you think that the dog does not always come when called because he is afraid. If so, how can I get my husband to understand that his training methods are actually causing more harm than good?
