[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Family meeting which can be a teaching moment for the kids (and your DH) about how you all made the choice to get a dog and you all need to participate in training the dogs.  Kids can teach lessons like "sit" which are easy and stepping stones for the dog to understand that he/she needs to listen and gets a reward for doing so.  DH can work on more complex tasks (stay--which requires more work).  Find a few good youtube videos on training.  I'd put effort into getting the family to work together before thinking about getting rid of the dog.  My .02[/quote]

This. Take control. The dog is there so now make the plan to deal with it. Divide things up (feeding, potty time, etc.) Enlist a dog walker or doggy day care. Get a trainer in to help. The alternative is to give the dog back.

Look, I'm not going to ride you too hard. It can be tough at first, but the rewards are many if you can stick it out. But, you can't just whine about it. DO SOMETHING. Or give the dog back and be the bad guy.[/quote]

This is stupid. OP doesn’t want to be the point person for the dog. She doesn’t even want a dog. She’s stepping up because she doesn’t want dog pee on the carpet.

The solution is to rehome the dog.
