I have to agree with Amie about this. If Kevin´s wolf-dog (or whatever it is) acts like this, it is not only his fault. He does it because he thinks he CAN do it. Maybe he thinks he is the boss who decides, what he will do, where he will sleep and where he will go. Seems Kevin has no authority for the dog at all.
Of course, thinks might be more difficult to explain to a wolf-dog, than to a poodle, but it has to be done.
I´d recommend you to read and follow advices either of John Fisher (book Think dog! or Why does my dog..?) or Jan Fennel´s book Dog listener. In all these books you will be explained about the importance of Alpha status in the pack (family) and how to achieve it.
Good luck!
