I can understand your anger, I don't think this dog has been treated properly, and I know I can't just make it be well behaved by yelling. She's not going to get rid of the dog or put her down, and she has no intentions of ever getting another dog

She recognizes that moving to this place was a bad idea and the dog would do better with a house and yard - the place needs some additional renovations and she will rent it out and buy a house soon enough.

for the record the dog has never chit in the diaper, just piss, when it chits on the floor it is doing it on purpose
Alright I know this isn't your fault and you're trying to fix the situation.

If no one can stay with the dog during work hours you need to compensate by spending time playing with him and walking him.

Can't do it herself, maybe she should pay someone to dog walk. Or put the doggo on a treadmill if you have one. Not gonna lie I feel for the neighbors too if he whines while you're out all day. Unfortunate situation all around but it seems the dog has pent up energy and separation anxiety. Less energy could help with the latter.

I highly doubt that. You guys arent taking the dog out enough. Take the dog out and when it poops give it a treat and then take it for a walk. If it doesnt then go back inside for 15-20 minutes and then try again.

Alright, I'm getting this loud and clear. This dog isn't bred to be a house pet like my other dogs were. So a casual few block walk isn't going to do it for her. I don't have 7 miles for it to run, but will try to figure out a way to get it more exercise.

Might try a bark collar, then we can take her off the medication and maybe the pissing and chitting will stop - it's not ideal but might be the best way to correct this situation

Op doesn’t seem codependent in general though. Idk why he is acting like this as if it’s his responsibility and as if it’s no big deal to invest his resources in this problem.

Just drop her op and get a new gf.
nah its not codependency to want a doggo to have a better life.

dogs arent like people, people never really change as adults, with discipline and good training methods any dog can change. if op sticks with it he will bring happiness to that sad dogs life, and as mans best friend that doggo deserves it

A codependent is someone who cannot function on their own and whose thinking and behavior is instead organized around another person, process, or substance. Many codependents place a lower priority on their own needs, while being excessively preoccupied with the needs of others.
Are you autistic lol? You realize that most well adjusted adults in their 40s seek out relationships with opposite sex and don't 86 people over the slightest little issue.

Let me break this down for you. Your are agreeing with a woman about relationships who in her mid 40s is getting railed in a musty concrete walled dorm rooms by fat teenagers while his friends come and steal her leftovers out of the minifridge.

yea but theres people that have a soft spot for dogs, its not just his gfs problem, the dog is suffering the most. if it were me id do it for the sake of the dog not the gf. and if the gf is comitted to changing the dogs behavior and sticks with it its also a good sign.

You could also try doggie day care. I know it sounds a little bougie and ridiculous but they'll take the dog during the day and let her play with other dogs instead of driving the neighbor insane and ruining the floors

Just suggested the bark collar - she has already tried half a dozen brands. The dog keeps barking until the battery dies.

I'll look through them tonight and see if the one you suggest is in there.

She would gladly pay for doggie daycare, but her dog is aggressive with other dogs. No daycare will take her. She was asked to leave those training sessions at petsmart because of bad behavior

no homo, unironically theres pretty good reddit threads about it, no homo
This is called separation anxiety. It's very common especially in rescues and in dogs who get used to having someone home. There are lots of things you can do and I recommend doing some research on the topic for more advice. Here are few key things.

The most important thing is to make the arrival and departure of humans completely boring every single time. Plan ahead so you can fully ignore him for 15-20 minutes when you leave and when you arrive. Just act as if he is completely not there. This shows him that the party doesn't start when you walk in so he's not anticipating it.

Try crate training if you don't already. Make it a safe space for him by slowly introducing him positively to it. Don't just lock him and leave him for a long time, build up to it. Start by feeding his meals in there with the door open, then shut, then put him in and shut the door and give him a treat, then shut the door and stand for three minutes, then shut the door and walk away for three minutes, then five, then ten. If he starts to bark or whine don't let him out until you get a calm moment. Do the same thing with leaving the house, building up how long your gone and doing the ignoring at the same time.

Don't let him always follow you around the house. Teach him a command like "out" that makes him leave the room and use it to regularly give him alone time even when someone is home.

Exercise like crazy! A tired dog doesn't care if he's home alone. Burn the crap out of his energy levels until he can't stand any more!

Enrich his alone time. Provide him with puzzle toys and activities for when you're not there. Kongs are great and you can stuff them with kibble and peanut butter and freeze them. Frozen beef bones are wonderful too. Think about how to make the stuff last a long time.
when that dog starts goin crazy in the morning it is sensing YOU guys getting a little bit anxious about him being anxious.

i also like to do the thing anytime i am around any type of dog where you space mog them. they are standing in the hallway or whatever and you walk "thru" them. like no u gtfo the way.

i like the post above where they are creating separation while you are actually there so they get used to it.
do not read my posts and weep, i am not there i do not sleep
i am the thousand greens that rep, i am the ban bet dutifully kept
of memes and trolls in toasted breads, i am not there, i am not dead.

That is a huge impact on free time and impediment to relaxation. It’s a big deal and it’s not his problem. It’s unacceptable imo.

If it was OP’s own problem dog then yes he has the responsibility to train it and try to correct the issues and invest his resources. But not someone else’s dog.

The whole purpose of a gf is to improve your life with companionship and fun. Not to take over her problems that prevent your own relaxation and sleep and leisure time.
did OP move in with the GF? maybe he gets a free place to live as his divorce rages on?

i like a simple, easy life. that's what i built. i certainly don't want to manage someone else's kids, dogs, and problems.

She’s not his kid and it’s not a long term marriage where it is expected to have to deal with your spouse’s problems to ah extent. They are just dating and the negative impact on his free time is not worth it.
i know a lot of guys like this. they can't ever be alone for long. they have to ALWAYS be in a relationship at all costs. as soon as they get divorced they have to rush out and latch on to the first female that takes them and bend over backwards for them in cuckery. they ultimately get married and divorced again and the cycle keeps repeating.

Hey Gordon and Silencespeaks, this is not a relationship help thread. This is a dog behavior thread.

You both clearly have issues in the way you think about being in a relationship with another human being. I am not interested in the projections of your fragile minds, take it elsewhere.

Regardless of what anyone in here is saying it sounds like an issue with the dog being pissed off and that's the only thing it can do to retaliate.


Growing up I had a beagle that lived in the house. Smart dog. Well trained. House trained. But when he was made at my dad he'd go piss on my dads shoes or go leave a turd next to my parents bed on my dads side.



The dog wants more attention. The crapping/pissing on the floor is most likely a F you towards both of yall.

Unless it has a medical condition and can't hold it. But I doubt that.

Fk brah. She didn’t socialize it and got a high energy dog when that isn’t consistent with her lifestyle. Just read 18 year life expectancy too. For spring-fall I’d get an ebike that’s decent for off-roading. Then you could do street or trails. They are allowed almost everywhere. That dog needs miles of walking/running everyday. I think if his exercise needs were met more consistently, he would be significantly better. 1-3 miles probably barely takes the edge off and would be great for a low energy dog. Yours realistically could use 5+ everyday

This is exactly what I think, but the dog doesn't get attention whenever it wants it. It has to learn to lay comfortably in it's own bed, or she needs to tire her out so that's all she wants to do.

Yeah, she knows she made a mistake picking this dog from the pound, she had no idea what kind of dog it was assuming it was just a pound mutt, and after it began to exhibit issues she figured out the breed.

I think exercise is probably the answer and you're right.

I don't feel right if I don't get my exercise in, and this dog has exercise in it's dna.

Yeah honestly, what would probably be better off for all involved is to find the dog a new home with a big ****ing backyard for it to tire itself out in all day. Its one of the worst breeds to own in an apartment, and even if youre in a house, you need to have an active lifestyle and spend time with that dog hiking/hunting etc. its not meant to be a dog that just lounges around the house.

Getting a dog that doesnt match your lifestyle and energy level just makes everyone involved miserable.

Take this opportunity to make your girlfriend get off the couch and run with the dog. It will keep her slim and improve the dogs behavior.

She was stupid enough to get a dog breed she knew nothing about, she should be the one who changes her lifestyle to match the dogs.

Yeah, and she knows it too.

She will run with the dog, but it's pretty cold in Chicago right now. I run outside myself, but stop when its 20 degrees or colder because my toes get really cold, like numb. I can't imagine that's good for a dog from the south either. She has a treadmill and we will start trying to get the dog to run on it after work today. When the snow thaws, my gf will start running with her dog, she likes to run anyway.

This is the first place she bought, she got it because it was inexpensive and suited her needs (or so she thought), but her plan is to renovate (80% done) and rent it out, then buy another place, and rinse and repeat every 2 years or so. The next place she buys is already planned to be a house with a yard due to the issues with her dog, but I don't see it happening until the summer, late spring at the earliest.
