One more observation is that my labrador won't attend any command I give when my wife is around. She oftens looks for her and disregards any command given. when i'm the dog she perfectly attends the sit/stay command. I can walk close 30 yds away and yell [B]COME[/B] and she'll come running (treat as reward) but when my wife is around with us.... the dog simply [B]ignores[/B] my commands. The only way I can make her come to me is by kneeling and opening my arms.
when walking on a leash, she'll [B]pull away [/B]as [U]NOT[/U] wanting to be "heeled". One day she was offleash and pooped on a neighbors garage, I gave her a loud reprimend and she suddenly [B]ran[/B] away to my house without stopping.
How can I correct this? and reasure my position as the Alpha Dog.
Must I mention that she doesn't bark at all.
