My new puppy prefers my husband. How can I build a bond with her?

Question

How to I build a strong relationship with my dog? Does us both being female make us incompatible? She seems to like my husband more regardless of how much I love on her and give her treats. I want to create a lasting bond with her, but I feel like she doesn’t want to create one with me. I know she’s young, but shouldn’t that make her more lovable?

Congratulations on your new puppy Callie! Things that can make Callie bond with you more are things like feeding her. Dogs bond well with the person who gives them their meals. Also playing with her, taking her for walks, training sessions with her...all the one on one attention will help. Your gender does not make an impact on your new baby! You may also see her preference switches periodically! Please reach out again if you have any further questions!
