Answer 1

Keep him on a leash when you are with your dad.  

Answer 2

well for one thing you could try giving him a bunch of treats and  take him on a lot of walks and try to get him to love you. Or you could just try to slowly wean him of of him and slowly bring him to like you.  

Answer 3

Thats so sad keep him away from him or talk to your dad!

Answer 4

Yeah, have your dad arrested for animal abuse.

That will keep them miles apart.

Answer 5

Well you can't choose for them who they like its there choice but if he's your dog then he has to stay with you if he's your dads then he has to take them you cant stop a dog from liking some one unless you make something up and your dad punishes him then that could work

Answer 6

That's too bad about your parents. It's really tough to get a dog not to like someone, and you don't want to create a situation where your dog gets hurt by your dad as that may cause other adverse effects... like your dog being scared of men. I would talk to your dad about it. Let him know about your concerns and that you don't want him feeding your dog too many treats... it's not good for him.  If it's your dog than you are the one who can take charge of the situation and make sure he is safe.  I hope everything works out for you : )

Sorry about your parents. You could tell your dad that you were playing with your dog before and gave him lots of treats so he shouldn't need more. Then your dad will lessen up on the treats. If your dad is mostly the one who takes care of him, like walking, letting outside, using bathroom, petting, etc. then do more of that yourself.

Or you could stick a dog bone in your back pocket so your dog will follow you around everywhere instead of your dad, hah.
