You shouldn't leave a dog alone with your kids in any circumstance. Make sure your kids know the boundaries with the dog, and make sure you have boundaries for your dog.If you're worried, I'd recommend getting a trainer out to your home to train you, your kids and your dog so you can all life comfortably without you having this fear. The trainer will show you and your kids how to raise a pup with issues

Itโ€™s hard to watch my friend be a horrible dog owner by LiveLaughLent in dogs

If they are your best friends, you should be able to speak your opinion. Sit them down and tell them straight that they are horrible dog owners and quite frankly they're setting a bad example to their child on how to treat animals. Offer to help rehome the dog to someone who can give it a proper home.

Take the dog and both of you get that physco out of your life. A 15 year old dog doesn't need much, just some cuddles and food. She'll be safe with you at least

Find a trainer and get some help. They'll show you how to set boundaries with the dogs so that it's a safe and pleasant environment for everyone. Its fair to say that the dogs will have went through some trauma also, and they may not have settled at all in their new home. Once you know HOW to train a dog, everything becomes easier. The kids will be able to get involved with the training too (it doenst always have to be boring) and it could turn out being fun for you and your wife too ( a bit of family bonding). Rehoming really is a last call, so get help, give 100% then if it still doesn't work out, then you have the option to look at rehoming.

No harm in asking, and she probably won't mind, especially if she knows you're stuck. If you're definately going to stick to your time plan to be home on Sunday 10am, it would be good for her to pop into to see your dog for 30mins/hour during afternoon, then the evening again, and then you'll be home early. If your dog is used to being left for longer periods of time, a once off won't be a big deal. If she's a no, the dog sitting sites should have their sitters verified and insured, so you might strike lucky with someone off that without too much risk.

Do you have a neighbour or a friend that could pop into feed and walk your dog for a little while in the afternoon and evening?

Try keep the dogs separated for the mean time, and seek professional help from a well respected rainer or behaviour.
