    Just love on him, he can't help it. You made a commintment. Thank God that he isn't worse than that. He will help you develop patience. The first year of marriage is the most difficult. I have been with my hubby for a total of 20 years. It gets better if you show him love and kindness (if he is a good person). How do you attract bees?

    Bacon and slutty behavior works on bees too?


    HA!

    Mix 10 tablespoons of metamucil in his oatmeal along with half a cup of antifreeze. Let me know how that goes.

    Well for those of us in rescues, we do recommend that you do some behavior modification training. Positive reinforcment, say, the use of a clicker is advised for when he actually does something good. IF there is anything. If not, well I have to be blunt here, there are a lot of husbands in rescues now...some a lot nicer than yours who are more deserving of a good home. Just saying...there are some that just can't be rehabilitated and must be destroyed. We usually try and do it humanly, but Helga needs to have her fun, too.

    I think I might have one of his puppies living in my house. This is why everyone should have their pets spayed or neutered!

    Only the cats get meat in our house, but he seems immune to slutty behavior, cookies, and beer.

    Contact Ceasar Milan, he can show up and retrain him by making tsh...tsh.... sounds when he does something wrong. Also uses a tennis racket and a glare to keep him out of things.

    bahah! I'm gonna try tsh...TSH!... if all else fails, there's the tennis raquet!

    Do *not* contact the breeder. They are very territorial. Although they are likely aware of the issues you discuss, they will blame you for them.

    I find that small rewards work best. Rewarding good behavior as opposed to punishing the bad is the best way to go.

    I find husbands like beer, pizza, and cookies.

    You forgot sex, I'm just saying:laugh:

    Jinx, thats what I said.

    Is this about a husband or an animal? Is this even real? I'm beyond confused and just wasted a good ten minutes of my life I will never get back.

    WOW...lmao

    Obviously you haven't developed 'the glare' yet. Works on mine very well!

    you're not training him correctly, they respond rather effectively with reward and with holding rewards. a simple verbal warning indicating the intention to withhold Pooh tang should do it. Then, if behavior persists, he is testing your resolve, proceed with Poohtang restriction.

    Good Luck ! :)

    You know you made a lifetime commitment to this husband, right? It's going to be difficult to rehome him with these behavior problems. How would you feel if the next person to take him had to put him down?

    I say work with him. You could get one that poops on the bed.

    LOVE you!!! LOLOLLOLOL

    Maybe if you get him another companion to play with he three of you would get a long better. It worth a shot before re homing him. You might have to try several different companions before you put him out, sounds like he just needs a couple of playmates, hopefully the female version

    Rehoming ads can sometimes state "rehoming fee"... depending on the desperation for rehoming you might want to waive the fee.. i can't imagine a rehoming fee does anything to help find him a better home anyway...

    I considered the issues and have some "husband-whisperer" solutions for you since parting with him is possibly sad and/or financially difficult.

    1) He never puts his things away - - SO - - put things away for him...for example, the dirty clothes on the floor are easily folded and replaced in his drawer. Eventually he will notice they are not getting washed unless they make it to the laundry basket.

    2) He is very lax in doing his chores. He will leave the dishes in the sink for days - - SO - - serve him dinner on last night's dirty plate. As he scoops up lasagna and finds last night's broiled haddock in his mouth, he will eventually either do dishes or be hospitalized for food poisoning.

    3) He talks while I am trying to work at home - - SO - - focus your attention on him intently. Follow him around and ask him to explain each thing he is doing. After 2 minutes and 14 seconds, he will tell you he needs to go to the bathroom, then he will slip quietly to the couch to watch tv if you pretend to look the other way. If he speaks again, repeat the focused attention on him. No husband can withstand focused attention for more than 8 minutes before he goes into shock.

    4) He constantly forgets to close doors - - SO - - install cylindrical springs on all doors so that every door slams shut loudly as he walks through. Perhaps he will decide closing the door is better than hearing the slamming. He should be the one to uninstall the springs.

    5) He yells at the screen while playing video games - - SO - - play along with the fantasy he is engaging in and yell, yelp, shout, grunt, whistle, or moan loudly after each of his vocalizations. He will immediately look at you and lose his game status which is troublesome to him. Eventually he will go mute so that you will too or he will turn off the game to focus on you if your moans were more interesting than the game. :blushing:

    Best wishes with the ongoing training. Please don't be surprised if new behaviors surface once these are corrected. I am always available for consultation.

    I too have a rescue and I found that the breeder didn't cause as many of the behavioral problems as the previous owner did. Very hard to re-train, but kindness and treats do go a long way in helping to reinforce good behaviors. I figure in 20 or 30 more years he'll be well trained!

    Did you read the return policy before Adopting him? There are some no kill shelters that might help....
