Why punish the dog by rehoming it, teach your toddler manners and respect
8 Likes
You need to teach your child to respect and not mistreat animals. You should focus on thar instead of getting rid of the animal. It doesn’t take long for kids to learn. I mean I feel like that’s the obvious answer here. No child should be allowed to behave like that with an animal. What if he was at someone else’s house and tried to pick up and throw a dog that decided to bite hum. It would be your fault for not teaching your kid how to treat animals.

Rehome it. Who cares what anyone else says. Better to do ot sooner then later. Some small breeds are not best suited for homes with young children. I’m sure it willbe better off if you are concerned about it’s safety.

Who is to say she hasent been teaching her child but he or she is a slow learner and in the mean time she dont want the dog getting hurt…we don’t know her situation!
You are not terrible, and sounds like you are thinking about the best intrest for the animal. Is there anyway you can keep them separate until you teach your child not to do that?

Honestly, the kid needs consequences but the child could progressively get worse so rehoming doesn’t make you a shitty person. What would make you a shitty person is rehoming the dog and later getting another dog…. People will talk shit but if there’s an aggressive kid in the house there shouldn’t be any animals in the home everrr… let people judge, spare the dog trauma because down the road the dog WILL have behavioral issues
better to rehome it then to have it killed, if anyone judges you that is on them.

Babies are assholes I mean that with love. You’re doing the right thing. Rehoming dog early is best if you don’t think you can teach the baby. (it’s still a baby and they don’t always learn quick) good on you for trying to help the dog and not get your baby bit.
Do what you have to do to keep the dog safe. If that means rehoming it, then do it. It’s better than keeping him and letting him get abused. It could turn the dog aggressive too, which could bring a whole new set of problems.

Im tired of all these perfect mommies whose kids never do such a thing. Kick me out idc 
All you girls saying parent your child instead of rehoming, you can scream till youre red in the face or repeat yourself over and over to a child and theyll STILL do what you tell em NOT TO DO . LIKE JESUS CHRIST BE QUIET . REHOME the animal if you want to. My goodness some of these moms are so perfect and their kids never do anything wrong and they ALWAYYYSS listen i forgot
Thats how we got our dog. The child wasn’t very nice to her and her actual fur parents weren’t letting her eat. So we took her in and she is amazing. Rehoming your animal doesn’t make you a bad person.

Teach your child not to hurt defenseless animals. I am curious as to why you thought getting a small breed dog was a good idea to start with?
So far as rehoming. If it’s a purebred, contact the breeder. Otherwise, contact local rescues to get the dog a foster family. Explain that you simply did not realize that your child could not be trusted not to injure the dog. And don’t rush out to get another dog until your child is old enough not to hurt them.

Hi! Person that works with alot of animals here. 1. I just removed a dog. Different reason, but sometimes animals just don’t fit the family.
2. Remove the dog. It’s safer for the dog. It’s safer for the kid that’s going to end up bitten
3. Don’t get another small animal until kiddo is bigger.
No shame, we all make mistakes to kearn

We bought a dog that was in this type of situation, we were blessed and so was our precious little guy. Don’t give the dog away. Sell for a reasonable price that way you will know they can afford upkeep for the dog
Start letting the child be around dogs for a brief amount of time and rethink ownership when they’re a little older.
Toddler needs to learn how to not do that. I have a 15 year old chihuahua (she’s about 3.5 lbs) and my daughter knows not to touch tiny dog. It takes a good amount of work to teach them, but your dog is family too. Maybe get your kiddo a big stuffed animal they can waller all over?

If a dog is mistreated, and bites a child, the dog will most likely be put down. AND a doctor treating your child’s wound has to report the incident. The dog will be kept in quarantine for 2 weeks to be sure it doesn’t have rabies. ( Even thou you know your dog has had it’s shots it still will be kept in quarantine.) Then your dog will most likely be put down. It has been said that once a dog bites a person, it will bite again.
Not fair to your dog. Yes your child is young and doesn’t understand, and needs to learn how to be kind to ALL animals, but this is what happens. Been there- learned from experience. One more VERY IMPORTANT thing. DON’t sell / give your dog away thru Facebook or by putting an ad out to the public. There are some bad people out there- and your little dog could end up as BAIT in a dog fighting ring!
Find a reputable breeder, shelter or maybe a vet to help rehome your dog. Check references too.
God bless.

You would be doing the right thing. The sooner the better for the doggie.
What kind of dog? I may can take it
You need to be working on positive reinforcement with your toddler!! If you’re too lazy to not do it full time with the puppy you decided to bring home, then you need to make damn sure you aren’t taking your child around any other animals period. The kid will throw or hit the wrong animal one day and get bit or attacked. I watched my grandmas three GSDs try to rip my little brother in half when he was 7 because my mom didn’t teach him how to be around dogs and he was antagonizing them. And when that same brother was 3 he almost had his finger bitten off by my grandmas macaw parrot because my mom never taught him to keep his fingers out of animals faces.
I also have two toddlers and a 6 year old and bought a cockatoo in march on top of the 2 dogs and 2 bearded dragons we already had. I worked with all 3 of my kids on how to act towards ALL animals and how to handle them. And because of that, there’s only been a handful of times between all three of my kids that I’ve seen them mistreating animals. Which happens sometimes because they are kids and they forget! But you not even trying to correct this behavior is wrong and is only going to hurt your child in the long run. Ask my brother who still has scars on his thighs and shoulders 14 years later.
What kind of pup do you have? Pics
I agree with everyone else about correcting your child. Not trying to come off as harsh, but what if you could tries to do this to another dog one day and that dog didn’t tolerate it and bites? It would be safer to tech your child Joe to treat animals

I had to rehome one of my cats recently; it was a rough decision.
Have you tried bringing in a dog trainer? The trainer will work with you, your child, and the dog and help you teach your child how to treat your dog. Your child will need a lot of correction. Don’t leave them unsupervised with your dog.
If this doesn’t work, ask around your network of friends and neighbors for a possible home. My cat’s new dad is my bf’s best friend from high school. They live in another state, but it’s so reassuring knowing that our kitty has a great new life with wonderful people. It makes it so much easier. We flew with our cat, btw, and stayed a few days to help him settle in. Cats don’t adjust to change quickly, but he’s doing fine. It’s been about a month.
But definitely try the dog trainer first. Find one with experience working with children who will come to your house.
You should teach a child at a young age what no no means if you don’t teach them then who does

What kind of dog. Is it female. Mine just passed and I am in need of one. . think of me.
I agree with most ppl here, kids need be taught respect for animals. They will be better adults in the future. Kennel the dog for safety now and small children should only have supervised time with a pet till they learn.

Uh sooooo how about instead stop letting your toddler run your house? I’m sure you’re doing your best but they absolutely need to learn that no means no and that violence of any kind towards animals or people is not okay. Just keep consistent and keep it the same. They throw the dog they get punished how you see fit. And repeat. Eventually it will stop, and you won’t have to lose another part of your family.

At least you are thinking of the animal. Ignore the people being rude. I would try to correct and teach your child how to interact with the dog before you rehome them. If you can’t do that then yes, re-homing the dog would be the best option for everyone involved.

I have had my Chorkie since she was 6 weeks old. My two youngest babies came home to her and I taught them from a very young age to be gentle and to treat her nicely. They know. I started telling my 4 year old this when she was almost a year old. She knows to be gentle with her. My 3 year old is the same way. She is a little more aggressive so when she decides to be a little mean to my dog I jump her butt because she knows better. You have to teach them.
This is why it’s so important to research breeds and get a dog that is actually suitable for your family and lifestyle. Don’t just get a dog because “it’s cute”.

Honestly…: it’s an easy fix. Discipline your child! They’re not too young to understand snd keep them apart if you cannot be watching the dog at all time with baby around. I have 3 kids and I always had dogs and cats. All kids get too rough that’s because they need to learn. If you just don’t want the dog then nothing wrong with being a responsible owner and finding a new loving forever home for it…. Just check references and don’t give away for free. Really sounds like a little someone needs their booty or hand smacked though:woman_shrugging:t2: unless you’re child is an easy learning and can go the soft way or talking to and going in the corner 
most kids are hard headed and it’s not something you can take your time with getting point across. If it was a cat be a lot easier to learn lol scratch and that’s what happens when you’re mean. Good luck.

Discipline your toddler. I have a 2 year old and from the time he started crawling we showed him how to pat our dogs, no hitting, no sitting or hanging on the dogs etc. Now he is great with our 3 dogs. He loves to cuddle with our dogs and watch TV. You need to correct your toddler. The dog didn’t do anything wrong.

My toddler put our 8 week old puppy in the microwave while I was in the bathroom got to the puppy in time she didn’t turn it on just closed the door with the puppy in there and was acting suspicious so I walked up there and opened the microwave I told my toddler not to put the puppy in appliances or any kind of other box because the puppy could suffocate and taught them to be nice to the puppy my puppy is now 3 years old and my toddler is six and she knows now to play nice with the puppy and not put the puppy into the spaces that are not safe for the puppies

You gotta discipline your child and teach them it’s not okay to treat animals that way. Maybe crate train your dog so that when he’s to be alone with the child(if ever) it has a safe space to be or when the child gets to rough it can go in there to feel safe. If you don’t teach your child how to treat pets early it might never change

Yeah so kids don’t instinctively know how to treat animals, we have to show them. At the same time, kids and animals should never be left alone unattended. So yeah I just don’t understand why you would even need to get rid of the poor dog. Teach the kid and protect the dog until your kid grows out of this phase, duh.

Tell your toddler off, my son grabbed my elderly cat and I put him in tie out for 3 mins and then went an spoke to him and told him it wasnt ok to do that and to say sorry, he come ut of time out and went straight up to my cat and fussed her to say sorry, he hasnt done it again to this day, best not to shout at your toddler it’s best to tell them what they have done wrong and leave them in time out and then explain when you go back, then just forget about it after it’s done

Sadly, as is evidenced by a LOT of these comments, you will very likely be judged. I have heard people say that they would choose to be homeless on the streets, WITH their kids before rehoming their dog. And I get it. I have 2 beloved dogs and there’s almost nothing I wouldn’t do to keep them with me.
That said, as many have pointed out, you can try to teach your toddler to treat the dog with care. That is absolutely ideal but not without risk. Teaching involves changing the behavior so the child will likely still try to do things to the dog. You risk the dog getting hurt in the teaching process. At some point, the dog may retaliate and that puts the child at risk. If the dog was to seriously injure the child, you have numerous risks- depending on where you live and the seriousness of the injuries, the dog could be euthanized. CPS can get involved if they think you were negligent in the dog being able to hurt the child.
If it was me- I would probably find a REPUTABLE dog trainer who can come to your home and see if they can help you with dog training tips that can be taught to your toddler.
In the end, I absolutely HATE the judgment that comes with someone needing to rehome a dog because for most dog owners it’s completely a last resort. But the way I see it, in this situation, if you tried everything and you believe the dog is in danger of being hurt, rehoming him is really an act of love and selflessness. If that’s what you ultimately need to do, you will need to shut out the noise from others especially since it’s going to be extremely painful for you

Should probably start teaching your kids hurting animals is wrong. Not just get rid of the dog. That doesn’t do anything. Start the educational process of teaching compassion and love to animals. If you don’t teach the child now that hurting animals is wrong. I’d worry about what would happen if the child meets a big dog and they try to do something to it.
