Hellobee Boards

@septemberlove: I think a lot of these people who are giving great dog advice are giving it because they, in fact, have dealt with dogs like this first hand.

I'm sorry, I really can't say anything else because this post upsets me.

@ladybee: this.

Nobody is suggesting that you put your child in danger, but there are better ways to approach this.

@ladybee: haha it means she agrees with you.

@.twist. @mrbee: huh, learn something new everyday!

Would your husband be open to rehoming the dog? Dogs are not stupid; they know when someone hates them and thinks they are evil, a little shit or demon spawn. Honesty, it's not surprising she doesn't want to work with you. Maybe training and positive attention from someone else might produce better results, and make for a happier everyone; dog included. your husband is setting her up for failure; and a failure that includes probable euthanizatuon at a pound; especially if you describe her as aggressive to shelter personnel.

I actually totally agree with @yoursilverlining:
The dog is being set up for failure, as are you. The dog can sense your lack of "care" for it and no doubt knows your dilsike of him/her.
Like I said, I totally understand the frustration with this. I HAVE BEEN THERE, I do have a DD and another one the way. I would not want a potential incident to happen with children. This is still not the dogs fault. It does not know better. Your DH should and is truly working against you. I have worked with multiple different kinds of behavioral issues with fostering dogs. With one like yours, your DH needs to be on board with the training even more so than you. So his lack of understanding this will get you no where. He is the one she is protecting and "bonded" to. He needs to enforce this not being acceptable more than anyone.
He is setting your dog up for failure. I hate to say this but I will not be surprised one bit if there is an incident with the dog and a child if he continues to let the dog behave this way. It seriously is bound to happen IMO and with my exerince. Especailly with children and little dogs....I have just seen it too much and your DH is enabling bad behavior.
Please if anything look into getting DH on board, if he doesnt....with time something is bound to happen IMO. In that case, please find another home or a RESCUE. There is a HUGE difference between a rescue or a shelter/pound. A dog like this, or even most small dogs do NOT do well in shelters/pounds. It will most likely be a death sentence for the dog.
