It wasnt worth the argument because theyll never get it. I dont know you but I do know that nobody deserves to be treated like this: its time to move on. My dog, for being aggressive. I have a spouse who has gradually, over many years, eliminated any actual friends I might have that are not actually his own friends. I have a chihuahua and he is wonderful. She follows everyone around wanting attention and could use better training. I.e., Move to a new house. I am so bothered by the mess this dog has caused and it makes me feel like well never have a nice clean home! I am at the stage now where I am sick of hearing that I am a slave to my dog that my dog runs my life and that he is sick of hair on his pants I have a non shedding breed. He cant even use the bathroom w out her whining to come in. Its the ultimate narcissism: other people will never reflect back perfectly, but dogs (pack animals with an instinct to) might, and computer games (programmed for exactly that purpose) also might. I agree its not an issue about being rude to an animal its about treating your dog like a dog. I told her she could keep the dog if she promises to keep them separate at all times. They can easily be steped on. I understand where you are coming from! End the relationship before opting for violence!!! Anyway, I now smoke cigarettes because Im so stressed and didnt before. But, everything depends on what we are referred to as a Bite.. But its never too late to get up on your feet, face the reality, and march forward. He continues to pee everywhere. He has been trained well and understands that there is no jumping or messing around in the bed, he must be still, and he always is. Weve even tried fixing it but he chews through everything we try to fix it with. Im ready to move out into my own apartment and my boyfriend is choosing to stay with his parents and the animals ugh. I told her No! I cant get the thought out of my head that he got to keep his and i didnt and mine died. How about helping him with the dog? Cannot grasp the concept of an animal being put before a human !!!! The shelter lied to us about her age, they said she was 4 ( which is still a trainable age,) well it turned out she is more like 6. Not having dogs is not an answer, so please dont say this. He is at home with her all day while I work. I feel your pain. and so can partner. Possibly bitter sprays can help until you solve the issue with positive reinforcement techniques. OR, if you are out of this area, inquire about a telephone or e-Lesson She freaked and bit me. The dog barks heavily so much Day and night without change. She continues to talk about this dog like its a person which I have to tell her a dog is not a person or a child, it is an animal. My husband and I also have a 2 year old son. i said uhmmmnooo.extreme much? Are you serious right now? Who runs the show you or the dog? I cant even take vitamins without this dog trying to take it out of my hands. We have argued over this several times and after reading these comments, I realize that there is probably no middle ground for people like us. I have asked numerous times for him to get his 9inch nails clipped but that also goes ignored. My work laptop, INSIDE my work bag has hair in it. Please fill out all required fields to submit your message. A person chuckles when they first see him. What should I do? We recently had some severe weather out by our home, while I was out of town, and my SO told me in detail how she took her dog to the basement and secured it in its kennel and sat on top of it, then briefly mentions having our child in the car seat next to her. As everyone agrees, this small nip never gonna draw blood. Help please! She would rather share the bed with her dog than me Crazy eh? He used to send me cat videos, say how cute to them, stroke them when we met one on the streets and so on. He takes his 13 year old Lab a plate of goodies every night after dinner. I had a goldendoodle attack me! If you dont it eats you up. Ive had pest all my life, but raised in a very particular family where our pets were taught obedience. It is almost like being married to both brothers. My boyfriend and I recently (within the past 3 years) bought a home and our first Dog (a rescue) shortly after, my mother fell in love with her, she got one of her own. I think its disgusting to be honest! i even know of instances when couples had a kid that they were raised that the dog is their older brother or sister !! My partner and I have been living together for a year now. I plan on keeping the mom and the babies will be adopted through the rescue I volunteer for. Thankfully, we live somewhere else and we cant have them, but the time will come that we will get our own place and I dont want those dogs! I would never allow an animal to usurp me ever again. She says she doesnt resent my animals but actions and snide comments made say otherwise. He became like a child to me. Shed sit on the far left of the sofa. You need to train them. Scared she would get ran over.. Then it gets cold and I couldnt do it Kids would beg for her to come in and it was hard for me to sleep of a nite shutting the door for bed knowing Bailey dog wanted inside!!! Dont judge everyone has something that you hate. Im slowly retraining my boyfriend and his dog. Jake- Sally, you should hear some of the comments I get from dog nutters when I tell them that our dog is not allowed in our bed. Getting a dog as a couple can be a really exciting moment in a relationship. His dog is emotionally unstable, obnoxious and all around out of control. ?When I see this I automatically assume the person /owner has mental health issues or is intellectually challenged. And to be Honest I dont really mind his dog that much anymore just knowing that he stands and supports me, not the dog is helpful because now I know that dog doesnt come before me or any human for that matter. If this is due to aging effects, he will give you sort of special pieces of advice. He has nearly become my dog, she just cuddles him. So I told Steve that I'm not going to keep being responsible for the dog he begged for and if he can't start getting up earlier and taking responsibility for the dog, then he needs to start looking for a new home for the dog. We both want a life together as a family. My partner loves dogs as do I, so neither of us mind their presence. I cannot tolerate it. I clean it up as soon as I can but the floor is getting damaged. Rather, he makes a long long list of excuses for her retarded manipulative behaviour. I still miss her. In the beginning, she said she will choose her dog over any SO or family member in a heartbeat. She gets the carpets all muddy and has torn up the backyard of our home and the landlord is mad. Here I am sitting down in our room then he goes and gets the dog a pillow. Ive set boundaries in regards to the animal but my SO feels that they only apply when Im home (I travel for work). Animals get between human relationships. Covered in fur and dirt and I think thats so low to allow that and let this shit undermine me that way. Wow, I can only imagine the nice doggy aroma in there, loloh my god! And this is how I feel about my boyfriends pets. He wont go on vacation because she doesnt like being boarded! Weve kept him in a kennel before, but hes chewed on it and rammed into it with his head enough that its broken and he can break out. It breaks my heart that your husband is being careless and not helping you or his dog. Your boyfriends are showing absuive behavior towards the pets. The dog likes to jump on the couch, claw the carpet and the couch, bark at any little noise and I swear the bark shakes the entire house. Hes quit jobs because he couldnt have the dog with him. Then the animal bared her teeth and chased him away. My partner is always defensive over any suggestions about the dog which makes me really upset and pissed off. This 50-something woman who until recently had her cat living in her house for fourteen long years insisted on being the caretaker it was her idea to help us with that, not ours. I mean really, to sleep in another room because her royalty takes up your space !! My boyfriend (22) of four years has a dog named biscuit for 12 years now. When the relationship starts to go downhill, they cling to the dog more almost in a weird attempt at inducing jealousy. Training was going well but unfortunately, fianc decided to go against every step I took to try to ensure he was a well behaved little gentleman. She never did that again but would keep forgetting to close the door during the day and the dogs would end up in the bed making it unsanitary! He is well behaved, obedient i took him to puppy classes i give him love he is not spoiled he listens to me. If IT doesnt go,he cant bare to leave IT ALL alonee. she even comes into the car for whatever we do, everytime he picks me up for anything she will be sitting in the passenger side.. i ask him does she really need to go everywhere with us but he just gets in a mood with me. Cant wear anything dark or I have fur on it. I dont necessarily agree that when you fall in love with a person you automatically know what youre signing up for I think there should be compromise in all relationships and when it comes down to it if its between your human significant other and your animal and you choose your animal youre going to live a lonely life because at the end of the day you cant have a full life with an animal you cant marry or procreate with an animal and if you truly love this personare you willing to throw it all away for an animal? Just because he states its all shes known her whole life doesnt mean that she isnt supposed to learn. It is a Weimeraner, and I hate the breed, its characteristics, its mannerisms and love all other dogs. He quit saying it. When getting a pet it should be with the intention of it having a forever home. I dont know when this started, but she has also started peeing in the bed. then eventually praised with her favorite things because her response was very good. Why not question yourself, why not realise that if it were to ever get to that point in your relationship, that you are effectively saying that my dogs are more important than youll ever be. He walks the dog, feeds him, plays with him, buys him toys, and so on. What you said is most certainly not a fact. I am fine until he lets her inside, sure she sleeps on the floor on a matt by the door but I cant take it anymore, I dont know what to do! Even children need boundaries and structure for a happy well loved life. The dog is extremely destructive, and it chews almost everything in the house. Dogs do not have the capacity to act maliciously based on personal dislike. I know I need to talk to my husband about this but it would just end up with both of us being hurt and tearful so I need to address how I feel before I broach the subject with him somehow! Id say if he leaves: good riddance!! If you want to treat an animal like a human, then maybe you should move to Utah and marry them. READ the context before leaving some detached comment! All was discussed prior and she promised all sorts of things regarding there keep, like no begging, toilet training walking etc. I have had a sprained ankle for the past almost 2 weeks from trying to get her to come back in before work. Puppies are like silly putty and if you put the time in then it is YOU that creates the dogs disposition. I accepted that but after a while he changed his mind around my birthday and, quite unexpectedly, decided that we go for it. Yes I do.
