Bad Dog
We have had our dog since I was young, for many years. I mean, like since I was 9 and now I'm 16. My mom used to work nightshift but now she works dayshift, and my dog cant handle her not being here. She's worked dayshift all summer but we were always home, and now that nobody is home during the day we put her in a cage. The problem is she gets out of the cage!! Even when we tied the cage with a rope!
My mom closes her bedroom door during the day because she doesnt want Hero out in the living room, but she ripped up my moms carpet at the door and pooped and peed in her bathroom. This is like the 3rd time she's done it...and now my parents are going to get rid of her!! I dont know what to do...I love my dog and I dont want to get rid of her...but my parents dont like her anymore...I dont know what to do!! Advice please!

Yea, We had that same problem! What you dont want to do is put the dog in its cage against the wall my we tried that when my dog was small and it tore a big ditch in the wall! Bingie cord the door so if the dog pushes agaisnt it oo that cord is strecy and idmeidiatly snaps back! or simply put a heavy chair leg in front this always works for us! If all else fails putthe cage it in a bath room i mean whats the worst that can happen? Make sure this bath room is easy clean up floor! Good luck!
Sorry its long
Hope this is helpful

I can totally relate - my dad is threatening to send my dog away because she has made a few accidents. I am really shy and I am completely scared of my dad, therefore I can't talk to him face - to - face on this manner. So, I wrote him a note and left it on the kitchen counter saying, "I just want you to know that Maisie is the most important thing in the world to me. If you follow through with this, it will take me years to get over it!" It seemed to loosen my dad up a little bit. One of every parent's main priority is to keep their children happy - they can't stand to see them depressed. I think that speaking to them face to face will have more effect than a note, and if you promise to think of a way to keep your lovable little pooch in control, then they won't hesitate to take back their threats!
Tip: You dog most likely relieves herself in the bathroom because she has no way of getting outside - if you have a backyard, try keeping her out there until you get back from school or your parents get back from work. Now that her scent is in the bathroom, head over to the pet store - they usually have products that get rid of scents like that which will kill the scent from even your dog's nostrils! Make sure you clean those spots really well. Also, dogs usually get very depressed in a cage and desperately try to get out. I'm sorry that I can't think of any other solutions! I hope that I helped!

i totally feel for you im o sorry to hear that i know how you feel im actually going through the same thing right now actually. maybe what you should do and this depends on your age i guess is maybe get a friend or a close neighbor to take care your dog in and take care of him that way you can still visit him, thats only if there is no hope in getting your parents to change their minds. what im doing which i guess you could do to is give them temporarly to some one to take care of until you move out if your planning if your of age of course, but if you still pretty young then i guess the first option is the best for you
best of luck

yea hey i agree with what the person below me said, try to convince your parents of ways to limit the bad behavior of the dog: dog training, toys,things of that sort. But if your parents really just wont go along with it and really are serious about giving your dog away, then sometimes its for the best. I know this sounds weird but I am a true animal lover and i had a dog that i had since i was 6 and now i'm 15. Recently my dad suggested we give him to someone my neighbor was friends with(she loved dogs and treated them real well). We had to give him to this lady because of the fact we didnt pay enough attention to my dog and we didn't properly take care of it, so it really wasnt fair for my dog. At 1st i was realllllly sad too because he was a super friendly dog but then i realized he would live a better life; in a house with an owner that has more time for him and stuff. The thing is if your dog is given away, dont just give it to ANY person, make sure you get to know the person and what they are like to animals and see if your dog is comfortable with that person, you could even check to see if this person would let you visit your dog once and a while. So yeah, thats just from personal experience, but I hope things work out and go for the best. (sorry my answer was long)!! hope i helped...

You and your parents need to understand that when you get a dog they become part of the family. Dogs feel lonely when the owners change schedule and they need things to help them get used to it. You and your family need to help your dog get through this. Give her chew toys and bones to help him curb her urge to chew and get out of his cage. When she pooped and peed in her bathroom, she was marking his territory and trying to get someones attention that she needs to be loved. She ripped up the carpet because it is something that could remind her of your mom. If you need to know more about this answer please write to me, I know a lot about animals.
