My family recently got a new puppy. We are in the process of training her, and though I feel it's important to all be on the same page and be consistent, it seems like my partner and I are the only one who is sticking to the rules. Is it possible to effectively train the dog on my own even if the other members of the family (teenagers) don't take part in the training and spoil the dog?
I'm hoping to train her to walk properly on a leash and learn some obedience commands like sit, stay, quiet, heel, come, fetch, crate-up and so on. I am trying to be consistent in the training and maintaining the pack leader role, but the kids laugh when she does something wrong and talk to the dog in a way that I feel encourages the bad behaviors.
My partner doesn't seem to agree that it's a big deal when they do this and thinks I am over-reacting when I get upset about it. Does anyone have any insight that could help us out?
