Help! My boyfriend thinks he's the Dog Whisperer

[LisaM]

He watches the Dog Whisperer for two or three hours at a stretch, then he makes our (well behaved) dogs sit there and wait ten minutes for a Snausage while he laughs in a cruel manner. When we go on dog walks, he compares notes with other dog owners who think they are dog whisperers too. My dogs and I have had enough!! What do we do (getting rid of boyfriend is not an option!)

2. It's a preview....

Now you know what kind of father he'd be!

3. Practice the techniques on him that he subjects the dog to.

[LisaM]

4. Yes, I think that's the best option

Make him wait at least ten minutes for whatever. But multiply it by seven minutes, since dogs live shorter lives?

5. Get a cat

That'll mess him up

[LisaM]

6. Can we get that cat?

One of my dogs LOVES cats (he once spent a whole Thanksgiving with his head in a cat door hoping my friend's cat would come join him and our other dog (she didn't - he stayed there in vain).

9. Did you steal my boyfriend? He told me that he thought I was making the dog anxious

and he sensed it and that was why the dog flips out. He says that's what Cesar says.

[LisaM]

11. LOL - but our dogs don't flip out

They are very good, though getting anxious now, wondering why they have to wait ten minutes for a treat (my boyfriend claims that they like it).

12. Make your boyfiend wait 10 minutes for a treat

and see if he likes it.

[LisaM]

13. Or better yet, do something to make him anxious!

And if he doesn't like it, tell him to watch the Dog Whisperer for four hours and see if he can figure out what's causing him to behave that way.

At least we don't have kids; he'd be watching Super Nanny and giving me advice based on that.

10. Rig a mike to the dog, and whisper back when he does it.

Only use a Satanic voice.
