I met my husband with three dogs. He was a 30 year old bachelor with no "real" responsibilities other than taking care of himself and his dogs.
After I moved in I soon became aware of how unruly and untrained all three of his dogs were, especially his Puggle. These dogs would beg and be right behind you if you had food, and not just that bark if you didn't give them what you were eating. They also have aggression towards other dogs and if another dog walks by the house it's chaotic, frankly I'm surprised they haven't broken the bay window.
As time went by and the newness of me died he reintroduced his Puggle into what was now our bed. It was horrible. He would snuggle with it and I was literally shafted to the end of the bed with his back turned to me and he and the dog had the majority of the bed. I couldn't take it anymore, I'm a very affectionate and sensitive person and I felt so shafted. So the Puggle hasn't been sleeping in our room ever since, also because we keep the cat litter box in our room and she'll dig and eat from it and spread the kitty litter everywhere.
I just have grown to hate this revolting dog. The Puggle is the one to start everything--- when she runs away (she does often, one was a 3 day stretch) the other dogs are calm and submissive.
She also defecates in the house and there's been numerous times where I have stepped in it. It just irritates me.
I'm also 12 weeks pregnant, and I keep thinking about how horrible it's going to be when the baby is here.
I've talked to my husband about it and he's just defensive and there is no going anywhere.
I strongly believe this dog belongs on a farm, his mother thinks so!
FYI This Puggle was originally his mothers but she tried to sell it and then she's been passed around the family until my husband finally took her in.
I'm just lost. I feel so stressed and upset. This dog seems to be untrainable, and I have tried!
I can't tell him or force him to rehome her since I know in the future he would resent me for it. I just don't know what to do!
Help.
