I have been irritated for days now. After getting my PTSD Service Dog, my husband doesn't want to follow the rules. After 2 years of proffessional training, I am continuing on their guidelines. The main one is the dog needs to bond with the handler, so other family members are asked for the 1st 3 weeks, no look, no touch & no talking to the service dog.
My husband knows everything, more then the trainers. He does his own thing, the trainer came again to the house last week for a check up. She told him the rules again and why. Within the hour after she left, he patted the dog. We have a pet dog, he doesn't pat him much but makes a big effort with the service dog. The cat he ignores.
I am very angry and feel I have zero support from him. Such a simple tasks and despite being told by me and the proffessional trainer, he does his own thing. I finally have a pal that looks after me and feel so grateful after years of waiting...it just breaks my heart that he doesn't care

How is the marriage counseling going?
Patti, typically service dogs take a few months to bond with their new owners, all dogs do unless they are puppies. I got my dog a few weeks ago and he is 2 years old. They want him clearly to bond just with the handler. Pet dogs can bond with all family members.
i would use that command whenever your husband reaches for him. and get up, if you have to and leave the area.
make a clear distinction that this is unacceptable.
at least to your partner - i mean the dog.
what a freaking jerk.
i'm so very sorry. gentlest hugs.
then go and cuddle with your dog. or maybe take a nice walk xo
take it completely away from that and make it about the two of you bonding. you got this xoxo
For what its worth. Strictly amateur. . .
