Have you tried a trainer or anything? You still have until let’s say mid June to try and train the fur baby. If you can’t, like absolutely can’t, rehome the dog to someone that can. But, the doggo deserves a fair shot, if you haven’t tried things and are just gonna give it up then shame on you BUT if you’ve tried things like a trainer, talking with the vet ect and things simply can’t work that’s different and the dog would be better suited with a family who may have experience and could train him/her. If you have tried and still need to rehome, it happens just don’t do it if you haven’t tried to at least correct the behavior, that’s not fair to the pup or your family members. Best of luck xo🖤

It takes a lot to own animals on top of being pregnant especially with other kids… I have 3 dogs a 3 year old son and one girl that will be here Tuesday next week. Sometimes a dog isn’t the right fit it doesn’t make you a terrible person, BUT if your SO doesn’t wanna get rid of the dog then there is the problem. Just explain it’s causing unnecessary stress for you and it’s not good for the baby!
With aggressive behavior twords other animals I would be worried about bringing a baby home to it. I would try and find a home with no kids or other animals for her.

If it aint right pass it on to a right one.
Don’t let anyone guilt you into keeping the dog. Not all dogs are right for every family. And while it’s unfortunate for the animal to have to readjust, your family comes first. Your humans are more important than animals. That’s my two cents.
My advice would be
- find a no kill shelter to surrender
- try to rehome it personally.
I find the later to be much harder. Especially, considering you’d have to go public with the fact that you’re rehoming, and you’ll get a ton of unsolicited, rude advice.
*also, don’t feel guilty for not being able to shell out thousands of dollars on a trainer before rehoming.

What is the breed and age of the new dog? Can have a lot to do with it…some dogs are more boisterous than others and have certain behaviours that are instinctual. Our jack russell barks at the air, digs all over the place and although she is younger than our maltese male that we had for 3 years before getting her, she has become the alpha for sure. Puppies are also in need of training more than adult dogs…there’s also a difference between agression and play fighting, mine growl and wrestle when play fighting but never take it too far as they know eachother’s limits but to others that don’t see how our dogs interact take it as aggressive behaviour
These issues are with training and consistency, and are not the animal’s issues. Perhaps you should surrender the animals to a rescue.

First off. Wow adding all that to one self is the first mistake.
Is she adopted? Some adopted dogs take a few months to adjust.
I have a spit fire also that keeps my family is constant dismay. Can I ask what kind of dog is it ? Did you do research before bringing this dog into the family? It may just be a high energy or strong willed breed? If this is the case try a trainer or classes. First but I would say try everything you can before Rehoming them. Or maybe a rescue could help you. They could possibly help with finding a trainer or some good ideas for training.
Not all dogs work in every home. Every dog has to adjust to new surroundings. Try to find a home for the dog perhaps as an only pet. It may be too much for this particular dog. I commend you for trying to do what is right.

It’s a dog, not a baby. If you can’t handle this situation now, it’s just a nightmare waiting to happen when you have a newborn to care for. Find a better home, and no guilt, this just isn’t a good fit.

I dont believe in giving up on dogs, but it sounds like you have alot on your plate and adding another animal in general doesnt sound like it would fit your family dynamic. Some breeds are higher energy. You have to take into account age, history and breed. It’s always wise when adopting to bring your current animal before committing. It sounds that you have already made the decision to rehome and just would like some validation. Well I think it would be best that you rehome the pup and dont buy another animal.

it sounds like you’re right, that she’s not the right fit for your family and whatever behavioral issues she has are too much for you to take on right now. make sure you disclose all these issues to the person you rehome her with so they know what to expect and you know they’re ready and able to work with them.
also for the record, some dogs just don’t ever do well in homes with other pets. no matter what. so, don’t let people make you feel like you’re failing her. there’s a reason fosters and reputable shelters send animals home on a trial period.

Maybe a training program of available near you. But honestly would be best to re-home especially if aggrevise towards your other animals. Could become aggressive towards children and adding a new addion may set the down off further. It is heart breaking but your also pregnant and don’t need addional stress

Not every dog is the right fit for certain homes. That’s just the truth. People can make you feel like you’re “giving up” or whatever, but there’s no telling if the dog will ever be the right fit, & you don’t have time to stress about that especially with a baby on the way.
Your family is first.
Rehome the pup.

Anytime you bring a new animal into your home there can be issues. Without knowing the breed of dog or age you left a whole lot out. Also you shouldn’t add a pet when you’re expecting a baby. If you agreed to this dog to begin with that’s on you. I believe when you get a pet it’s for life. I wouldn’t trade any of my animals for the world they are just as important and depend on me just as much as my kids.

Did you educate yourself on what type of dog she is?? Train her?! Take time out of your day and get the dog to mold with your family. Don’t get an animal and expect it to just fit in and know what to do etc smh also why would you get a new animal when you have a baby on the way? 
You dont know this dog and you’re gonna have an untrained animal around your newborn?

Who got the dog? If he did, I’d re-home them so fast, him too if needed, if you all decided on it than you need to work on training. You made a decision to bring a long term commitment into the house and you don’t just dump it when it’s hard.

Give her to someone who is better mentally fit to care for her hyper personality or get her into some training
I had to regime a dog with a relative same situation. Got him as a pup he was trained everything was great until he got to around a year old. He would trail my other dog around the garden by his ears. He stopped when told to but would start again as soon as I went inside. I had to keep them separated and felt I had no other option but to regime him as my other dog was suffering mentally. Both dogs were neutered at 6 months old and trained x
You have to bring a new animal in when the baby is born. If the baby is born when the dog has claimed his territory, there’ll be jealousy. Speaking from experience. I had to rehome my dog for this exact reason after 7 years.

Best thing to do would be to surrender the dog to your local humane society, if its from a rescue then it has to go back to them. Rehoming the dog yourself isn’t the greatest idea. I work at a humane society and it happens a lot where the owner can’t handle the animal or care for the animal. We do ccap checks, vet checks, if you own your house unless you rent then we call the landlord, our shelter check, and whether or not the animal is right for you.

It is definitely not anything to be ashamed of to admit that she isnt the perfect fit for your family. I would definitely try to rehome her before your baby came. Maybe she would be a better fit as the only pet with teenagers that have constant energy to do things with her. Some dogs require constant attention, while others not so much. I am sure you will find the perfect family for her!

It takes a dog 6 months to adjust to a new home completely, may need more time but if you are sure she’s to much a recommend giving her back to whoever she came from or contacting a rescue to help you get her a different home.

Try obedience classes first, if that works out keep her, if not then talk about re-homing her to someone you know who wants a dog? If no luck then take her back to the rescue place. It might take her and the other animals days/weeks/months to get comfortable in a new home with the other animals?

What’s her breed? Did u do any research on her breed. Are you exercising her? Walking her, playing with her? Does she have plenty of toys?
It sounds like your used to lazy not active dogs.
Just like children every dog is different.
You won’t just abandoned your child because it’s not acting right. Give the puppy a chance.
Also it take multiple months for a new dog to adjust to their new life.
Important take away
Training and exercise plenty of activities to do to her busy.
And give the puppy some love and affection.

What will you do with your new baby if he/she grows up to disrupt your life ? You would do anything and everything to help your child fit in and change behaviours that are unacceptable in your family. The day you purchased that dog which is now your family member is the day you committed to having it for life. Go get some professional training and suck it up cause you have this dog for the next 15+ years. Not all dogs come in perfect little packages to suit you and your lifestyle

I have mixed feelings about this post but since we dont have all the details like if proper research was done about the compatibility of the two dog breeds and the age of the dog, I wont judge. In this case I would rather sympathize since I am also pregnant. You honestly dont need this kind of stress at this stage. Having to deal with hormones, planning for new baby, staying healthy during pandemic times and now fighting over a dog wont do your health and unborn baby any good. Rather rehome the dog, forget about getting a new dog for at least another year and focus on your pregnancy and family. I really do hope hubby will support you with this.
How long have you had her? How old is she?
You gotta give her time?
Maybe taking another animal on now when ur pregnant is not what is best for you or the dog

Poor dog. When you take a dog in it should be family. You don’t just give away a family member. I have 3 rescues. All are mild and easy going. I then got a Yorkie too. Wow. Talk about disruptive and picking on the others. And he’s tiny. I did not even consider getting rid of him. I trained him. It takes time and patience and consistency. I see dogs like kids. If one of my kids is way more to handle than the others I’m not going to just throw in the towel.

For barking I would suggest a bark collar especially if she is not kennel trained and that is where she is kept. It takes animals about 3 months sometimes longer to get use to our family routines before they become accustomed. I would also recommend high energy play in the evenings to help settle her and work on training.

Depends on how long you have had the dog. It takes time to adjust. As well as has the dog had previous training with last owners? I would look into training before rehoming your new dog.

My last two dogs have been rescue dogs and neither of them settled straight away it takes a good six to eight months for a dog to settle and that demands a good training regime for it to work.
There’s no shame in admitting that you can’t handle it the shame comes when you don’t do something positive about it.
Rehome it urgently and don’t use pregnancy as an excuse just learn from it.

Sounds like a lack of training and time spent with her, as well as poor planning. Get a bark collar. It goes on the throat and when she barks it’ll use a dog whistle to stop her from barking. Crate her at night and get a separate crate for a “time out” space when she’s being aggressive. Did you have a meet and greet with her before you adopted her? Did your other animals meet her before you brought her home? Try spending time with her separately, without the other animals and do some one on one time with her.

You should look into some training for the dog. Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of activities to change a dog’s habits. If you were near me I’d offer to help, ( not licensed in any way, but grew up my whole life raising dogs of just about every breed big to small).
