Dog Health Questions: My mom hates my dog and thinks I like the dog more than her. This is crazy. help?

She wants to either give it away or do that thing where they give it medicine and he dies.
the problems are:
-she hates the poo of the dog
-hates that the dog's pee kills my garden grass
-and ridiculously, she thinks we love the dog more than her.

me and my siblings have been trying our best to clean its wastes, bathe him every week, take it for walks, and yes we do play with him. apparently she doesnt like it and thinks we love the dog more, which i think is super ridiculous. she over reacted and yelled at us. its not like i havent been doing anything to find a solution. since before we got the dog home, i have did my best to look for ways to make the dog thing easier around the house. i trained him and even bought a lot of books that talk about dog training. i love my dog, and so does my dad and siblings. what can we do to keep him. i dont wanna lose him, really :'(

That's INSANE!
You're saying that your Dad wants the dog too, right?
So get him to talk to your Mum!

Parents talk. Your Dad may be able to convince your Mum to keep the dog a bit better than you and your siblings can (no offense intended).

If you HAVE to give your dog away, see if you have a responsible friend or relative who can take him. That way you will be able to still visit your dog and you'll know how he's doing.

If not, you might be able to give him to a rescue centre. There are plenty of people who would take good care of your dog!

Overall, I think your Mum is absolutely crazy.
And unless the dog's in her name, she has NO right.

Discover Why Dog Training Ebooks And PDF's Are All The Rage These Days


  • simple, teach the dog not to poo or pee in the house or in the garden. take the dog out for a walk 3 times a day. bathing once a week is way too much for any dogs. try once a month. find an activity that you (including the dog and your mom) can all enjoy. invite your mom out for walks. go and play at the dog park together. you just need your mom to join your pack.

  • keep your dog, your mom's weird. - I would've asked her if she has some sort of attention disorder. Seems like your mother likes spotlight all on her.
    I've never ever heard of a thing like that, unless your mother just doens't like animals period. But since in that house it's majoirty to ONE - your mom. I think you should keep your dog.

  • First off who is the dog legally registered to? If it's registered to you or your father, she can't do anything legally to the dog. Second of all she is crazy. If she thinks you love a dog more then her, she has some serious issues that she needs to go to therapy for.

  • That's not crazy, I like my dog more than some people I know.

    Tell her what you told us and ask what else you can do about the dog to make her happy. Explain that if she makes the family get rid of the dog that everyone will resent her for it.

  • fight back and tell her "no" and just say thats not even a ligetiment reason because all does do that mine does you just have to train them and if she doesnt want the dog peeing on the grass take a walk with him and let him go pee on rocks or something

  • my mom was like that with my dog. and then when he died she was upset about it.

  • arww open a can off whooop *** on her ***

  • Your mom's a psycho nutjob. Sorry.

    Stop bathing your dog every week. It's not necessary and it's actually bad for your dog's skin and coat. They need the oils they produce a lot more than we need the oils in our own hair. Bathe twice a year at most unless your dog is filthy and covered in mud.

    Talk to your dad. If your mom feels threatened by the family dog then there's something deeper going on. Spend more time with your mom, tell your dad he needs to talk to her and find out the root of this jealousy and he needs to do so gently and with understanding. She may have mental problems that require therapy, or she may indeed be somewhat neglected since the dog came home. Perhaps she just doesn't like dogs and is looking for an excuse to get rid of it. Either way, a compromise needs to be found.

  • It sounds to me that another family issue as manifested itself in your mother's hatred for the dog.

    In any event, do your best to keep the lawn clean of feces and try to have your dog urinate in an area where there is no grass (mulch for example). It is possible to train a dog to do its business in the same area.

    Putting aside legal and rightful ownership of the dog it is always best to try and solve the problem. Giving the dog away will only create resentment towards your mother - you might not ever forgive her if she does. If she purposely kills the animal then your resentment is the last thing she needs to worry about. Intentionally doing harm to a domesticated animal is illegal in most parts of the country and she could face jail time and/or a hefty fine.
