Agreed. Or she could use the plastic baseball bat idea on the husband
This man needs a wake-up call - in regards to both his children and his dog. He needs to realize that this is a horrible situation and no-one is happy.
I can understand (sort of) keeping the dog that belonged to his father, but the dog nor the family are happy.
I'm afraid I agree that putting the training off on the OP is not a good idea. Cindy doesn't want the dog nor does she feel she has the time to do anything with the dog to improve the situation. IMHO her trying to work with the dog under these conditions is recipe for disaster. Although, perhaps if she were bitten by the dog her husband might take notice - or accuse her of deliberately antagonizing the dog and make things even more strained. I would hate to even speculate on that one.
I think you just hate the dog. "scheming" to get rid of the dog? I'd keep the dog too.
Really Al? A dog which bites your two year old daugher and the only attention you give it is to toss it in the basement?
This husband is not working with the dog or trying to improve the situation!

Nobody in the house is trying to improve the situation! If its that bad, there are options. Noone will ever lock me into a situation I DO NOT want to be in. Barring health, or freak accidents, I control my life. I am the master of how I'm treated. We are talking about 2 adults here.
For example, this thread bothers me that this is not a problem with the dog. Take the dog out of the picture and there will still be some other problem. Bet me. Nothing I say can fix this thread, but still my hands aren't tied. I just won't read it. Problem solved.:smile:

I'll be in Happy Land if anyone needs me.
Which is exactly why I said earlier that this is only a SYMPTOM of a much larger problem.
I understand the desire to go elsewhere. The two year old and five month old do not have that luxury, unfortunately. No happy face for that one.

Nor does the pup.
This would be my worst nightmare for anyone of my dogs. If this father(in law) cared for his dog even half of much as I do mine, he would not want any half-hearted attempts from someone trying to see his pup through its final years, existing in exile or worse, loathed because of the obligation.
I’ve made my wishes clear, but would think no less of a family member should circumstance be such that they were not able to carry those out, for whatever reason. Life can be hell on earth for dogs and I would want mine joining me long before they ever had to experience something like this.
I would just hope that someone was able to make the right decision, taking the precious life of a beloved pet into full consideration as well.

I found in one quick google search five rat terrier rescue organizations that exist to help dogs in situations like this. Once the dog is safely in a foster home this family might have a chance to get on with things. Keeping this dog in this house is a terrible option for everyone involved, especially for the dog.
