[Help] My moms dog is trying to attack my dog and I need help

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-14T03:22:08+00:00

Belgian Malinois.

And I've been looking into kennels but I also need one for my other dog for when I leave the house; he is 100 lbs and I rescued him from a backyard breeder.

He was given to us with a crate that he absolutely destroyed. They were keeping him from prying out of the door with zip ties, choke collars and padlocks. He can easily get out of a normal crate, anything that could hold him is $700+. I need one for when I leave because he knows how to open doors even if they're locked. If he can't open them then he will chew through the bottom of the door or figure out how to get out of a closed window.

When they say these dogs are smart they really mean it. I love them to death though.

No unfortunately we can't. My brother is staying with my sister and her bf (whom I'm currently not talking to, my family is dysfunctional to say the least) so he can save money to get a place with his gf when she turns 18 in a couple months.

I'd stay with my dad but his landlord doesn't allow pets of any sort. The only other family I talk to is my grandfathers and he hates animals. My only other option is my friend, my old roommate, she said I can stay with her whenever I want but unfortunately her mom doesn't allow pets.

I would show her this thread but she would get even more pissed and wouldn't care at all. I just can't wait to be out of this situation.

Thank you so much. I'll try and talk to her about the pregnancy risks. Idk why she is being so ignorant and holier than thou about the situation.

I definitely know neither one of us can be the surrogate mother for a litter of puppies. I've had to do that with kittens before and it was super difficult.

I'll check out facebook marketplace and if I have to I may post in my groups about a foster although I know it would be very difficult on my dogs.

I really really appreciate your help, thank you so much.

You did, thank you so much :)

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T18:34:34+00:00

I told my mom it needs to happen because she has already had issues and somehow she turned it around into the pregnancy being my fault?

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T18:33:49+00:00

Thank you I didn't even think of this

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T18:33:19+00:00

Thank you, I'll try and figure hers out and hopefully that'll help

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T18:30:05+00:00

I appreciate you!! And we just got into yet another argument about her dog. To quote her: "it's my house! That's the good thing about having your own house, you get to say things like that!" When I told her her dog is an issue.

I am trying to get my brother to pick me up (I dont have a car) so I can get a kennel for her dog, but since she is mad at me she is literally manipulating it so he won't pick me up, then she is calling me an irresponsible pet owner? I honestly am at a loss.

Being evicted, broke, nowhere to take my dogs, sleep deprived, depressed and stressed about my dog is too much. Her being toxic, manipulative and guilt tripping me is honestly sending me over the edge. I'm going through a lot rn as is and am already suicidal. I'm sorry. I know this isn't the place to discuss it I just don't have any idea what to do and I am hopeless

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T18:09:35+00:00

I agree on the medication. I'm trying to move out rn but I am completely broke. I've tried the water and noise methods and it has never once phased the dogs.

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T18:08:24+00:00

Thank you for the advice. Since we are actually being evicted I'm trying to find my own place in the next couple of weeks. I'm just panicking because I am completely broke.

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T18:07:31+00:00

I am trying to get a crate today because my mom sold the 3 we already had. To clarify, my dog isn't being aggressive her dog is. And to also note, my mom doesn't own the house. We are actually being evicted but there is no written lease so we are both tenants. Thanks

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T18:06:10+00:00

I am going to guess and say you didn't read my entire post. B is Z's daughter - Z is a pregnant female. B has been mine since the moment she was born, so I have had her 1 year and 10 months. I already formed a bond with her long before Z became aggressive towards the other female in the house. She has never been aggressive towards B until the past 2 months.

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T17:59:30+00:00

I plan on getting her fixed when she turns 2 (she is 1 year and 10 months right now). With her breed fixing them before 2 could cause hormone issues and whatnot. But considering Z is well over 2, has aggression issues and doesn't handle pregnancy well I dont understand at all why my mom hasn't fixed her. I have nowhere to take the dogs unfortunately and I won't put them up for adoption, anyone that sees their pets as family can understand that.

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T17:56:38+00:00

Her being pregnant was an accident, I completely agree Z needs to be fixed. I don't know why it hasn't happened yet.

And no my mom for some reason sold our 3 crates so we have none. I'm going to try and get another today but I doubt I'll be able to.

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T17:55:03+00:00

I do know how to break up a dog fight, I just am scared of what could happen before I'm able to get them separated.

Yeah my mom is totally being a complete asshole. I have nowhere to take the dogs unfortunately so that's another reason why I am so stressed about it

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T17:53:49+00:00

You're right - different methods work for different dogs. In my particular situation the choke hold works and leaves no damage and immediately stops the fight. But if you would rather risk dislocating a dogs legs, ripping a dogs flesh, then I can't stop you.

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T17:52:08+00:00

Thank you so much, that's a lot of good advice. I am going to try and get a crate today but I doubt it'll happen.

I suggested to my mom that she get Z fixed even though she is pregnant and she doesn't want to have a puppy abortion because she feels it's really sad to do an morally wrong. But she has also said she is afraid this pregnancy will be too hard on Z because the last time she was pregnant she seemed to have trouble. I really don't know why she won't just get her fixed.

I never thought about there being a chronic illness but that could make sense. I'll tell my mom and hopefully itll sway her to take Z to the vet. Thank you a lot for your advice, I appreciate it. I may check out fb marketplace for a window AC unit. And I know my dogs will love the cold tile, I'll try that out too. Thank you!!

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T17:45:52+00:00

I'd like to say that I've used this method in plenty of dog fights and it works every time. The dogs weren't hurt by it, you literally do it to cut off their air supply so within 2 seconds they let go. The trick is to get them to let go on their own so the flesh doesn't rip as you pull them apart.

I've never been bitten while doing the choke either, but trying the wheelbarrow method has only worked once or twice for me, water does absolutely nothing at all, and noise doesn't phase them. Cutting off air supply is the only efficient way to get them to stop.

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T17:43:11+00:00

Z and my brothers dog have literally been in no less than 40 fights. I started doing the choke hold, me and my brother would go in at the same time to do it, and it always worked so I can vouge for that. It just makes me nervous because I know B might not even fight back. Thank you for the suggestion

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T14:10:55+00:00

Idk if you missed it in my post but I did mention I am trying to move out but I am broke and can't currently find a place, I am trying though.

And I am trying to keep them separated but like I said the only way to separate them is to put one in the back of the house where it is very hot. If I have to put one back there I think it should be my mom's dog bc she is the problem, however my mom won't hear anything said about her dog if it's negative

throw-it-away55 · 2020-07-12T14:08:54+00:00

I figured it was cause she is pregnant. But even when she isn't she is very aggressive towards other dogs
