[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’m not going to lie to my daughter and have her dog euthanized behind her back. I’d rather let a dog be unhappy for a week than destroy my relationship with my only child.

We are going to introduce the dogs for a second time tomorrow to see how it goes. If it doesn’t work, I will gently explain that the dog will only think she’s going to sleep, and that will be the end of any stress. Losing her dad is her first major loss in life. I don’t think she will agree to it, but I’ll try again. [/quote]

You think a ten year old dog will only be in the shelter for a week?  Ha!

I like your plan but you should a trainer help you.  Personally, I would do everything I coukd to keep the dog but I realize not everyone would.

Maybe you can set it up so its not a failure?  Maybe introduce the smell of your dog first?  Have them meet at a distance on leash and give them high value treats when they see each other?  Get muzzles just in case.  The basket ones are good but ideally you need them to get used to wearing it.

If you do it fast and the dogs lunge and snarl it isnt their fault.  Things take time.

I would almost think it is better to have your dd break her lease and find another place so she can take the dog.  [/quote]
