If your dog doesn't like your partner, you can follow these steps to help remedy their love struggles. Encourage your partner and your dog to spend time together without you, doing an activity that your dog loves. Have them go on a walk, play a game, or simply get your partner to give your dog their meals each day. Have your partner teach your dog a fun trick or skill, this will help them form a relationship and take ownership of this achievement. Explain your dog's personality traits and individual nuances to your partner, it may be that they just don't understand how your dog communicates. Don't force the process of your dog and partner liking each other, it takes time, be patient and allow them to find their way. If your new partner is meant to be, they will work at it and help this relationship blossom. If they're not willing to invest this time and energy, maybe it’s time to look for someone who will.

If your dog doesn’t like your person, your dog may be trying to tell you something. Dr. Gavriele-Gold, who owns two Bouviers and walks them around New York City, believes strongly in canine instincts. He trusts their innate knowledge of people. And if your dog intuitively distrusts a new person in your life, well, I certainly wouldn’t give away the dog, he says. Explore with the person what it is about having the dog that upsets them, Dr. Gavriele-Gold says. If it’s the work — ‘I don’t want to walk the dog’ — then agree to take on the work. Compromising on dog ownership is often easier than partners would believe. For a lot of people, what works is just trying it, says Dr. Gavriele-Gold. It often turns out better than expected, and the dog ends up adored by the one who didn’t want it.

I've not had a dog since growing up and wouldn't choose to have one in my house. I'm house proud, don't want the smell or hassle and restrictions. The dog has been there 2 days and she has pooed in the kitchen, in the hall and on my son's bedroom carpet. She is constantly under your feet and I've nearly fallen over her several times. You can't cook with her near you. She scratches the doors and has already scratched and left marks all over the kitchen cupboards. The house completely stinks and I hate it. I'm constantly cleaning up after her.
