Bless my girl, I got in after work to discover that the vinyl floor in the kitchen had been ripped to shreds, it'd had only been laid a week
So today she's gone to work with her Dad.

I don't understand why I'm the only one that consistantly trains her yet she adores my husband because he lets her get away with murder.
I don't thik me and him have ever argued so much since we had the dog

think sometimes the same rule applies to kids mum always lays down the law and dad does the fun stuff.
in the long run it is you that will gain the most respect from her tho, must be very frustrating!!

I really would sit down with hubby and outline the importance of consistancy! you both need to be training her the same way or you will end up with problems! Have you tried crating her to help with the distruction?? Not only will it save ur floors but it will keep her safe from chewing something potentially dangerous

My OH really enjoys walking Darwin so I used this to get his help, He wasn't re-inforcing the "heel" with Darwin so I told him either he does or he doesn't get to walk him! Simple! Find something that will work the same way with hubby

I want to try crating her but my hubby always kicks up a fuss about it saying "why have a dog if you keep it in a cage"
he just thinks he knows it all

Oh try not to worry I have felt like this quite frequently!

I was always the one telling Roo off and making him do things properly and so if I called him to play and someone else did, he always went to them over me, it was like he saw me as meanie Mum

I have to say though, tables have reversed now! If I've gone out for the night he sits at the front door and stays up til I get home, but he doesn't for anyone else! He always whines in the morning for me and things too, he realises I'm nice now!

Tell your OH to remember that as your pup grows into a dog, she may be very well trained, but not be obedient for him if he's not careful! This is the way its gone with Roo, he wont do anything my brothers ask of him unless they have food for him! They go around saying he is poorly trained, but Roo is superbly trained, they just don't realise that for a dog to be obedient, it has to respect you to an extent

Roo also ate two chunks out of our kitchen wall when he was young, and a skirting board. With the skirting board I put pepper on it as he hated it, someone also said Vick's vapour rub works too. Might be worth looking into a crate for pup's safety for now, then she can be out of it when you can trust her a bit more.

Vicks vapor rub worked wonders! the only problem we had was our lavender plant, but with vicks applied once it never happened agaiN!
