I hate the dog!!!
My dad got a rat terrier puppy from a lady that was having to move away. I cannot stand dogs. They're too hyper and stinky and so unintellegent because nobody around my community has trained dogs. Every time I walk outside I get jumped on or he tries to bite my shoes or something. Or he's humping one of his toys. I'm so tired of it! My parents expect ME to play with him. Why should I? It's my dad's dog, not mine! It's not my fault Dad is never home to play with him. How on Earth am I supposed to share my yard with that stupid dog? Please help me out!

Gee...I see a lucrative business opportunity. I am studying to be a dog trainer. You could too!
Look, it's not the dogs fault that your Dad is never home either. If the dog stinks give it a bath! Rat Terriers will chase feet and shoes as people walk because it's in their nature, they were designed to kill rats. If the dog humps objects or even jumps on people, he is trying to say "no one here is smart enough to be in charge, so I will be the pack leader." He thinks you are unintelligent (and he doesn't even know you can't spell unintelligent).
My suggestion is, educate yourself on dog behavior and training. You can learn to like him, or at least tolerate the dog. Take the dog for a long walk at least 45 minutes each day, and he won't be as hyper and will be easier to train. You will also bond with the dog this way.
Consider yourself lucky that you have a Rat Terrier, and not a Pit Bull Terrier because I doubt you could handle a dominate dog that is also physically strong.

oh my gosh! thats so rude. dogs have as much rights to live, and feelings and stuff as you do! just say someone said that about to, because you were stinky and unintelligent, even though they didnt know you. they're individuals with different personalities, just like us, so get to know the poor boy. imagine the stress he'z going through anyway, with moving home. and anywayz why WOULDN'T you want a dog. theyre cute and all sorts of stuff. ill leave you to ponder that.....

I don't understand why you don't like dogs. They're playful, cute, and they're actually really smart. It's not hard to train them, and it doesn't take long to do it either.
I don't see why you're so upset about this. Think of the love that this puppy will bring. It'll sleep with you at night, keep you company when you're sad [they lick you cause they know you're not happy], and they protect you when they're older. This dog might be little for all it's life [I think..], but it'll still protect you with it's life.
I would love to have a pet that loved me, but unfortunately, my dad's like you, & dislikes animals, so he doesn't allow us to have any pets unless it's like fish or something.
I think you're overreacting just a bit about this. Dogs are fun, and a very new experience which allow you to gain more respect for stuff. Don't hit the dog, don't fight the dog, and if it does something bad, just tell it that it's bad. But don't get butthurt because your dad got your family a pet, and you dislike it. Your dad was probably thinking you'd see the dog & you'd be thrilled. Hah. You don't even deserve a doggy.
I know that probably isn't what you wanted to hear, so rate me a 1 if you'd like, but it's the truth. And the truth hurts. I'm not gonna sugarcoat my answer to make it something you'd like to hear. =]

Well, you got to see dogs and humens are not that different, asides form looks and iq they share alot with us, they people to with feelings, they get happy and sad, if you want him to stop messing with you show him that your the top dog around there, show that your bigger and dont like to be touched, If he jumps or tryes to bite you show him you mean bissnes, make him sit, pick him up and move him, DONT HIT THE PUPPY! You dont want to tramatize him, dogs get that and can be scared. And tell him bad!
