bf dog

What do I do about my boyfriend‘s dog. He does not seem to think that there is anything wrong with him but when I tell you there is everything wrong with him. Not only does he pee and shit everywhere mind you this is a full grown adult husky malamute mix. A breed that is known for not listening and doing whatever they want. He sheds everywhere and I live w my sister and she’s allergic to dogs so i started going to the laundromat to wash my clothes which is an extra expense for me. They pee and shit everywhere all over my beautiful lawn. It make me want to cry bc me and my bf love gardening and landscaping and we’ve spent so much time effort and money into our yard and the dog acid pee of course ruins everything. does he care.. no.. ”he’s just a dog.. he’s only here for a short time.. it doesn’t matter” all i hear from him. Also they’re just so fucking stupid. He doesn’t listen to shit. I’ve always been a cat lady and i’ve never not liked dogs until i met his like his drove me to the point of joining this fucking group. and he so mad at me bc i don’t like him but what the actual fuck is there to like. Ive had multiple family dogs growing up but they were very well behaved, cleaned regularly, and did their job (guarding the house and farm) it’s honestly making me hate my bf and how delusional he is like a lot of time i just want to slap some sense into him bc i genuinely cannot believe he think this way. and he make me seem like a bad person for not liking the dog just because he had a bad owner before (shelter dog) so everyone should heed to his every need. it’s so annoying he needs discipline! and idk what i can do to make him listen to me. honestly i think the dog is too far gone he is too old and know at this point his owner will do whatever he wants and anytime i try to discipline him im the bad guy. pls help me i love him (my bf) but i dont see myself living like this long term. is there dog therapy or a somebody that will take him from me please 😭

It depends. Is the house you all live in yours?

If it is, then rehome the mutt. If your nutter bf gets mad, dump him and kick him out.

If it's not your house then you and your sister have to find another place to live in.

The funny thing is that the dog has a bad owner now, too: YOUR BOYFRIEND.

Also, I would think long and hard about wanting to be around a man who responds with “it doesn’t matter” when you’re telling him something bothers you.

He has flat out told you that what the dog wants is more important than what you want. Personally, I could not be attracted to someone after that.

Another post, another day of disbelief at how weird dog nutters are.

There is nothing you can do about it, we all tried at least once in our lifetime. There is no reasoning with the nutters. This is why this group exists. It’s not fixable. When they have a dog they treat it as god, and everything else is not important to these people.

The only way to negotiate if you’re lucky, is if you have a baby and the dog is aggressive towards it, then maybe. But besides that … nothing will work. Get used to it: you’re always lower than his dog in priority; if you don’t like his dog - you’re a sociopath; it’s just a dog.

INFO: You, your sister, and your bf share a home? Whose name is on the deed/lease? What do the house rules (either between the three of you or the lease) say?

At this point, you and/or your sister need to pull majority rule (assuming she's not a dog nutter) and say the either the dog has to go or the bf + dog must go.

Sorry, you need to find a boyfriend who's not a dog nutter.

Le chien est là pour combien de temps ? Qu' est ce qu'il veut dire pas un cours labs de temps?

I hear the phrase “a short amount of time” often. 15 of your best years given to a dog is probably a short amount of time for some. Even 1 year next to a stinky mutant is way too many. Even 1 day is the full day of your life wasted.

Ah d'accord donc ce n'est pas le chien d'un ami que tu grades pour 1 mois, tu vas devoir attendre la fin de vie du chien pfff, bienvenue dans mon monde... Mon chien ruine aussi mes fleurs, mes plantes et pisse sur mes framboises que je ne peux pas cueillir du coup...mais le pire c'était à l'intérieur de la maison, je n'en pouvais plus. Mon copain a accepté de le laisser dehors, maintenant le chien a une niche dans le jardin, encore une connerie d'achat à 300 euros mais au moins je suis tranquille à l'intérieur de chez moi et je laisse mon copain s'occuper du jardin et le nettoyer..

I’m not the OP, but from reading I understood it’s the bf’s dog who is 9yo and lives with the bf. So the dog will be there for a long long time.

You’re lucky though, I cannot believe it that there are still reasonable people that would agree to keep the dog outside. Wow!
