Just a question to shoot out here (bang) hehe
I brought my GSD home with out the wife knowing. I thought she would get use to her and bring her into the family. Some times she gets on to me making sure I feed her, then the next time she's bitching me out for spending to much time with her. Is there anyway to get my wife to like my GSD? I had her ( my dog) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> in a crate for aweek and my wife said it wasn't big enuff, so I built a kennel around the crate. But the other night she (my wife) :rolleyes: said again she hates that #&* dog. Any input output out there?

Dear Randy,
Try asking her to come out and watch you work the dog. Try including her in your activity with the dog. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I guess I just expect every one to love GSD's as much as I do.
If someone doesn't like dogs, the best you can ever hope for is that they will tolerate the dog (to varying degrees). They will never really understand the dog. If she really loves you and knows how important the dog is to you then she will learn to tolerate it, and maybe even not mind if it makes you happy, but after the initial reaction it would take a lot to get to that point.
I think there is a higher divorce rate amount dog enthusiasts for this very reason.

Get her a 7 week old Malinois pup and get her started training. My wife gave ma alot of heat until I brought home the second pup. Now the second one is almost two and my wife still thinks he's a pup. His face attacks are intense... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Same here, my wife does not like big dog that sheds, so now I think I'm going to get her a chihuahua to keep her happy, I just hope my Mal don't accidently step on the chihuahua and kill her.
WHY does your wife dislike the dog? You really haven't given any reasons WHY she does not like the dog, just the fact she doesn't. Find out WHY she doesn't and try to work those problems out.
My wife of 30 years use to be the same way, just for the fact she had never been around dogs in her younger years. In the last 24 years she has had a dog of her own - plus helps me with mine.
If you can work out WHY she doesn't - to where she does -- life will be so much better for you and the dog.
Mabye she feels that its not her dog and she doesn't have any say in how it is raised and such, maybe she needs her own pet, like a cat for the dog to chase <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Just kidding. I know my brothers girlfriend hates his dogs cause she had no say in what he got and when.
