Hello and thank you for reading my post.
How do my wife and I get on the same page when it comes to training and taking care of our 20 month old Morkie??
She's had dogs all of her life, he's my first. I want him in his crate during the day when we're at work, she doesn't want to come home each day and clean poop from the crate and what's on him (this happened the first week that we brought him home and he hasn't been left in the crate since). She's adamant about it and I can't change her mind. We leave him in our kitchen where he does his business half on the floor and wee wee pad.
I know it's our fault that he's not trained correctly however I'm having a big problem with my wife not listening to what I have to say about house training him. Oh yeah, his bed is my bed to where I'm constantly on 1/8th of the bed at night!
Any suggestions on how I can go about changing my wife's ways? She also thinks that the forums "don't know what they're talking about". I'm at my wits end!
