Why do dogs always prefer a male owner?

I think dogs are traffickers of affection and they want everyone to love them. They cannot stand for anyone not adoring them, and that is why, when your husband does not give him any attention, he becomes extra adoring and loving to coax your husband into a response.

I don't think that's true at all that they prefer male owner. I think the dog wants to be with him because he sees more of you and misses your husband when he is gone. The dog just wants attention from your husband. My dog used to go crazy when my mother came home from work. He didn't do that to me because on summer vacations I was with him all day. My females and male cat also go nuts when my husband comes home from work.

I don't think that it's always true but dogs are pack animals and regard their humans as part of their 'pack'. The leader of a dog pack is nearly always male, so it is natural for a dog - especially a male dog - to see the male in a household as the leader and therefore 'the person to be with'. I have often noticed, too, that people who don't like dogs are often singled out for special 'friendly' attention by a dog. I am not sure why this should be but perhaps the dog is trying to establish a relationship in some way. Dogs are easily as interesting psychologically as humans! The same thing often happens with people who dislike cats - they are often singled out by a cat as 'the person I most want to be with' - my mother was one of those! She tolerated cats only but cats often chose her lap to sit on!

I think this happens because your husband treats him like a subordinate. Your dog sees you like you were his subordinate so he will always choose to stay with the leader. For him, your husband is the leader, not you.

Whhhhuuuuuuh? Not not NOT true at all!!!
