Hubby has always spoiled the little ones and does very little basic training.
I on the otherhand even it out by loving all of them and have always taken our
large dogs through obedience. In our household the large dogs are better mannered.
So I guess every household is different.
KYS,

Love your reply! I have met so many people that believe that, because they have small dogs (usually tiny) and they are more managable, that they don't need to be trained. They are usually o.k., but I have also met some real monsters in little dog clothing. My personal belief is that all dogs benefit from obedience. I am absolutely thrilled that you take your big dogs to obedience and I'm sure your household is much better for it.

If your husband doesn't want to train the little one, it may actually be in your best interest. Little dogs often do very well in obedience. You wouldn't want him showing up your big guys, would you? What kind of baby is it? I'll let you know if you are truly interested in a debate if the breed is one of the better training varieties .
