To think this was a mean thing to do (pet related)

[Sunshineandflowers]

My dog has a favourite place to lie on our half landing. DH dislikes this because she makes the window silk dirty. I wipe it daily. Yesterday when I was out he wanted her to move and she wouldn't. He tried to coax her with a biscuit but usually he coaxes her then doesn't give her the biscuit so she doesn't fall for that trick anymore. (This is a crappy thing to do as well and annoys me). So he got out her lead and told her she was going for a walk, clipped lead on and took her to the kitchen, then shut the door on her and left her there for rest of the afternoon.
AIBU to think this was totally out of order? Because he thinks I am!!!

Window sill not silk! Damn iPhone!!!

If she was fed and watered and had a walk then I am sure it was fine for her to be in the kitchen for the afternoon.

Yes completely out of order poor doggy

I meant the tricking her into thinking she was going for a walk!

Aww that's not fair on the poor dog. Get your revenge for the poor pooch, lure your hubby upstairs with promises of sex, cuff him to the bed and leave him there, see how he likes having his hopes dashed!

That's just cruel and unfair to the dog. Do you think you could coax her to shit in his slippers?

Alternatively, stick on something silky, slightly revealing, lead him on with come hither eyes, then dose the jewels with cold iced water.

But little how would you like ot if someone wanted yoir seat at home so suggested taking you out waited till you moved then sat in you seat and said 'ha ha you thought' ok I know I'm probably overthinking it but doga have feelings too.

I am sure she got over it quickly. We have to deploy all sorts of tricks to get our dog to do things at times. Slightly mean but not terribly worrying.

Mogz!

Not really tbh, it would have been too hot for the dog to go for a walk anyway. You need to find a way to stop her from lying on the windowsill, or maybe put a cover on it.

It wasn't hot here yesterday afternoon! A perfectly pleasant 19. I see no reason why she can't lie on the windowsill anyway!

Your dh is mean.

YANBU. Very mean.

Well she should move when asked for any member of the family without needing to be lured. I would be more concerned why he needs to lure the dog rather than just calling it to be elsewhere.

I suggest: spend all day winding DH up for the greatest sex sessions EVER. Then change your mind at 10pm - see how he likes it the bastard.

Totally agree with Lonecat. A dog should do as it's told. You're doing your family and the dog no favours by not maintaining a correct pecking order in the household. Putting her in the kitchen was a start to establishing his authority, so YABU in my opinion, sorry.

So a dog asleep in a quiet part of the house should have to move? I wouldn't wake up my children and tell them to move! I get that a dog is lower down in the pecking order but surely they have the right to sleep and live happily? If she was in the way or being a nuisance then I would move her instantly (and she always does what I ask her to) but I don't believe in making an animal do something by deceiving it into thinking something nice will happen!

Beginning to think maybe IABU!

Yes. But he's fucked up the training to get the dog to follow a command by pulling the stupid biscuit stunt.

Tbh, this is a battle of wills between yourselves and the dog is being fucked about as a result.

A dog should do as it's told.

But why does it have to be told not to be asleep in a place where it's not doing any harm?

But dogs should be treated consistently. He is screwing up her training by treating her like this.

Irrespective of it being a bit unkind.

Your H is mean. I bet the dog dislikes himI know I would

Why can't he just give her a biscuit if he promises the dog one

The fact that she doesn't respect him enough to obey his command speaks volumes re. how she views him. She does what you say, but does she do what your kids ask of her? Is she a little spoilt perhaps?

Regardless of whether or not she was in the way, she was asked to move and she refused, and that's worrying behaviour for a dog.

Your husband needs to quit the nice guy routine and put his foot down IMO, she needs to know her place.

How horrible. Poor dog.

Think he is being mean. And a rubbish way to train the dog.

Hope the dog bites his bollocks off next time he tries anything. And if he doesn't like her being on the windowsill he should fucking clean it every day.

She does what all my children ask of her, even my 6 year old. She isn't spoilt at all, far from it!! I'm in no way a precious dog owner but I do believe in treating animals with respect and kindness.

In fact if she ever does something that I don't want her to do then (eg sitting on the sofa) then normally just a look is enough to make her move when I do it.

Sadly the look does not work on my children!!!
