[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That all sounds normal for a higher needs dog.  That's just what owning a high energy dog requires.  If she doesn't interact and exercise her dog regularly it's likely to start exhibiting some destructive or difficult behaviors.

Dogs are a big commitment, she sounds like an appropriate dog owner.[/quote]

IDA that this is "normal dog owner" behavior. Our dogs don't go on the furniture and are well socialized and behaved. They are loved, but come in below our relationship with each other, our kids, our parents, our other loved ones. We do currently have one nutty rescue mutt who doesn't get to come places with us precisely because he is neurotic.

I'm not necessarily seeing a compromise here. Maybe sending the dog to dog day care a couple days a week to leave more time for the two of you to be able to go on date nights/ all-day outings? But I think the most realistic answer is from the.poster who said: "Childless women (and men) in their 40s are self-centered and will not compromise much, they've never had to put someone else's needs before their own. Not sure you want to deal with all this."

We have lots of kids and grandkids and they come with dogs.  When everyone visits we put sheets on the furniture and beds and let the dogs sit or sleep wherever they want.  If they take a kid's seat, the kid pushes them out of the way.

Everybody is so judgy and uptight.[/quote]
