[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She just brought the dog into your house without asking you? She either needs to find a new permanent home for the dog or board it. I don’t know of many nanny employers who would be okay with having a barking, scratching dog in their home. [/quote]

She asked us and said it was a very temporary solution 
But it’s been a month and she really has no options 
She doesn’t want to leave but the dog can’t stay [/quote]

What about giving her one more month - or three more weeks - to find a solution. Work with a trainer to get the dog to bark less and pee not on the floor, or find the dog a new home. Just realistically, it is going to be hard to find this dog a home. I'm sure your nanny knows that. This has got to be awful for her, as it is for you, too. But maybe she has a friend who will keep the dog - she could even pay a friend to keep the dog. Just, try to work with her so the dog isn't in a shelter. Old pets don't belong in shelters. It's summer, shelters are full. If she is going to euthanize the dog because there is nowhere for him to live, then it would be kinder to have a vet do it and not outsource that to a shelter.[/quote]

I appreciate your kindness
She’s young and hasn’t done anything to help the situation over the last month 
I had to buy the bark collar 
This morning as the dog was barking and she was trying to quiet it she walked away from the stove. 
The smoke detector went off, we have young kids who need her attention 
I was at work but my DH was pissed as he had to jump off a work call to turn off the stove
Then the kids got upset

She’s a student and we all appreciate her so much but she doesn’t seem to be able to think through this 
DH wants us to give her until Friday to find a solution 
Someone mentioned doggy day care which I didn’t actually know exists!

Have you also heard of dog boarding?  People use this when they go on vacation, for example.  Maybe you all need a little vacation from this problem![/quote]
