a dog with women
In an American TV show, a college buddy of a woman's husband says to her that he doesn't understand why she married him, because he is "a dog with women". So I wonder what it means for a man to be a dog with women. Is he a two-timer? Or does he just not treat woman well? Beat them up, maybe? I would be grateful if you could tell me. Thank you.

Question

Answer

It could mean any of those things. The term dog refers to him being bad with women in aime way, but without the context of the TV show, it is difficult to narrow down what is meant bu dog in this case.

Answer

---He behaves like a dog towards women.
Women often say they prefer an animal than a man. 
- Actually Urban dict. has positive meanings: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Dog

Here it seems saying the opposite. 
Not necessarily barking at her -- maybe he's simply "too much kind" with other women, so she's not satisfied. If a woman asks for him, he goes. Maybe this is the "negative" meaning of "being dog".
