[quote=Anonymous]We have 3 young kids and also somewhat recently got a puppy (he is 8 months old now and we got him at 4months). We were way too lax about obedience training initially and it made things extremely frustrating. Unlike you, we only crate at night and we do have a yard but he still chews through things constantly and jumps up etc. In the past month we got really serious about exercising him properly (dog park before work, walk after) and obedience training with treats. It has made a huge difference in his behavior. Even so, we will be sending him to a training camp for two weeks next month. It’s expensive but I do believe this intensive training will be best for him. This is all to say that caring for a dog is time consuming and expensive and you need to fully commit.

You have two choices. Take on this responsibility and get involved in dog care and training so you can properly care for him or rehome him. Present these options to your DH. Have the fight and come to a conclusion. If he refuses to pick an option you choose one and have that fight. DH may be livid if you rehome the dog but, if he is not on board with outsourcing training and taking basic care of the dog at home, it’s better for your DH to be mad at you than for this dog to be treated cruelly in your home.
