So my boyfriend has a very different teaching style when it comes to our dogs! Im always the one who feeds them, takes them outside, continue to try and help them learn their commands, give them treats and lots of love and praise and also bathe them! I always want to take them to the park but he never wants too! i go outside and throw the ball to her(coco, because cainan hasnt learned to fetch quite yet)!!!
BUT...my boyfriend on the other hand is very stern, i dont ask him to feed them because he doesnt give them enough, doesnt take them outside(and when he does, he throws a huge baby fit) doesnt give them treats, nor praise for that matter! He NEVER wants to participate in their lives...let alone mine(which is def. another story just in that) and just doesnt seem to like them most days! but for some reason coco still does what he ask's more then when i ask!(thats not the point tho) so anyways, im just aggitated because we just got home from the park and it was a total disaster, everytime coco doesnt go to him he freaks out and starts yelling at her to "come" and then when she finally does, she never gets anything, no pat on the head, no good coco, no nothing! I always yell at him for not being nice to them and not ever saying good girl coco, or good boy cainan! and he freaks out so much it just drives me crazy because i tell him all the time( i do mean all the time, so much that he's mad at me on a regular basis for it) and he still doesnt change!!! GRRRR....ticks me off!!!
Im the type of person that would rather have dogs for the rest of my life than have a child of my own(that may be selfish to some people, and some maybe not) but i'd rather give dogs who wouldnt normally of had a good life, the best life they could possibly have! but thats just me!
AHHH!!! I just needed to vent a little because no one else is as loving of their dogs in this house other than me, and i dont have anyone to talk to about it so i turn to my PT friends, who are always there to help me!! thank you all!!!

My Lacey is the type of dog that needed total consistency as a puppy and hubby didn't go along much with it. While she has turned out to be a great dog, there are times when hubby is around she will disobey me because he is there. 
Our Mandy, who we recently lost, was an easy going dog, so not many problems there and I'm praying Layla will be also.

Tonite my bf(his name is andy), well we've been fighting for quite some time and i havent been feeling the best so my mood is a little touchy anyways, but anyways, i wanted to go to the park tonite so i asked andy if he wanted to go with? he said No! so i said fine we're going anyways! After i had gotten my shoes on and grabbed my keys andy decided he should probably go too! So we headed (in my car) to the park about 7 or 8 blocks away(it's a school playground with a HUGE open field to play fetch in) and we started walking around, of course andy is on one of his kicks and usually it means, "dont talk to tonya(thats me) and just keep walking, not throwing the ball, not running with them, not nothing. so anyways after we've been walking for a good 15 minutes we made our way back up this hill to the actual play ground with swings and play sets! coco likes to go down the slide's so i walked up into the play set with her and she would go down the slide, then she noticed andy was swinging just a few feet from her, so she went over to him and started walking under him as he was swinging(the swing was no more then 8 or 9 inches off the ground by the way) So i sat on the opposite swing(not swinging, just sitting there watching) and coco kept running under him, and i kept saying andy you better be careful, she's ducking from you but your feet are in the way! Of course he doesnt say one word to me because thats just how he is! and not 20 seconds later coco moves to get out of his way on the upward swing part, and before she could get to the other side of the swing closer to me, andy comes barreling downward in the swing crashing right into her! Andy starts laughing and laughing, as coco is crying and cry and limping up off the sand onto the grass! I got off the swing and ran over to here (every step she took she was crying more and more) i grabbed her and layed her on my lap rubbing her leg that she was limping on, telling her it's okay coco! andy finally manages to stop laughing and get off the swing, as he starts walking over to us I most definately said my peace to him, (Andy i swear if you broke her leg, im gonna kick your ***)!!!! he says nothing, go figure! after coco stopped crying i said we're going home, NOW! i walked full stern towards the car as coco hobbled in front of me(she seemed to think she was okay, so she attempted to play with cainan the entire way to the car) we got in my car and came home!!!
