Me and my ex share a daughter and two dogs. My daughter is at her dads every second weekend and one night every week. The dogs are with me except one weekend in the month when they go to my exes.
The dogs are really well behaved at my house, never a problem. At times they bark but a quick 'hiy' from me and they stop. They listen to me, they follow me and they have a good routine. For instance at night when it's bedtime, they know the routine.
However, my ex has started to complain that they are behaving badly at his house. Ignoring him, refusing to go out for their pee before bed etc and he's getting exasperated.
I have suggested that maybe he is not spending enough one on one time/training with them and have also suggested that they just don't go to his anymore. But he disagrees and claims it's something I'm doing wrong?
I'm sick to the back teeth of being told I haven't trained the dogs properly, they're bad dogs etc when I have no problems with them here at all and I have worked hard on their training. He is saying that changes need to be made at my house.
His idea of caring for dogs is locking them up in crates whereas I have never crate trained them, and I'm not about to start to suit him.
Could it just be that the dogs don't enjoy going to his house and so are acting out?
