My dog ignores my commands & prefers others. How to get him to listen?

Question

Recently I’ve noticed my dog is becoming less attached to me. There is 3 people in the house and I’m the only one who trains him etc. I feel my dog prefers my mother over me because she doesn’t discipline him. She doesn’t see the point in what I’m trying to do with my dog until he does something wrong then she’s on board but goes right back into thinking I’m nagging and it’s discouraging. Now my dog refuses to listen to me now. He will now ignore my commands sometimes on and off. What did I do?

Unfortunately this is never going to change unless every single person in the household is "training" Bear in the same way. That is just the reality of the situation. In this way, dogs are like children; they will go to the people who let them get away with the most stuff.
