Me and DD have a 3 year old dog. He has had some behavioural issues which have been fixed but then keep going back to square one again due to my family constantly undermining it. For example, training him to remain calm when people enter the home but my family saying it’s fine, let him do what he wants, he isn’t going anything wrong and actively encouraging him to jump up - this is one of MANY examples.
I have tried speaking to them about it multiple times and they just are not listening and keep doing it. I see them fairly often because we all live in close proximity to each other. It’s really stressing me out and pushing me to the brink mentally and it’s creating a horrible home environment because he is starting to do these sort of behaviours again and again.
AIBU to completely cut off access to the dog for my family? For example, when they come round putting the dog in another room and not even letting them say hello to him and if I go there then keeping the dog at home. It’ll mean that they pretty much never get to see him but it’s critical he goes back to being properly trained and well behaved because him going back to his old ways because of what my family is doing is becoming really detrimental to my health and DD’s additional needs.
Just to add because I have seen it flamed on here before - he is a very good and trainable dog when it’s consistent and a joy/benefit to the whole household - it’s purely my family that are ruining this for everyone, including the dog.
