Why has our new puppy suddenly started ignoring my partner?

Home More advice Pets & Animals

We got our puppy a week ago, he is a good dog but just today he has been blatantly ignoring my partner. We are wondering if it's a dominance thing...? The puppy, Titan, is just coming up to 3 months old. Zac (my partner) is his master as opposed to myself but today the only person he would listen to is me. He won't even look at Zac.

I heard a story once about a couple who got a puppy and the puppy started competing with the guy for his girlfriend. I'm wondering if this is the same kind of thing? I'd love any insight, I know many of you are dog and animal experts so any help would be much appreciated.
