One of our major malfunctions is that we subscribe to the "dogs as kids"
model... and we both work an eight hour plus day. The wife usually gets
home before I do and feeds the "hungry babies" Each dogs is required to
sit, before they get food. MacGregor is required to go through his

Please don't take any criticisms I'm about to make personally. Take them
objectively and in regards to the dogs, not the dog owners. :)

We do some of this, he does need more exercise, although he'd rather
snuggle on the couch than run about in our huge back yard (that we
bought for him and his brother).
It's a weird situation, we have three dogs, MacGregor, a Great Pyrenees
(Pyrenean Mountain Dog) , Finnegan, the dog in question

Scott, sounds like a bit of a dominance issue to me. Your dog doesn't
respect the heirarchy of your family. Remember that dogs are pack animals
and there's only one "leader of the pack." (vroom vroom, cue the music)
There's a few suggestions I can make for what it's worth. Hounds are work
dogs and
Cut his ass.
Some hard smacks will set him straight and show him who's boss.
Threaten him with being thrown back out onto the streets.
Dogs understand a limited subset of words, he should get the message
and shape up.

the following is not dog-specific (it's an adaptation of how to deal
with sibling rivalry in small children) but it might help - avoid
rewarding the behavior you are trying to change. You make even want

Hey all,
We've got a small issue with one of our dogs...
Finnegan our Airedale/Hound mix is an attention whore of the worst kind,
