To finish with him because of his dog?

[FarageAndAWay]

Boyfriend has a dog, it’s huge and a bit mental. When I go around to his it literally bounces off each wall on the way to me - flys at me barking and mouthing, instantly runs off with my shoes etc

Then the entire evening is dictated by the dog - it goes mental barking at the slightest noise outside, aimlessly wanders around the room whining, parks itself inbetween us and then suddenly loses its head and starts jumping all over one of us (normally me). Drinks get knocked over, you can’t relax as dog is constantly trampling all over the sofa etc

I hate going. I love dogs but this one is just too much, it gets excited over the slightest thing - it’s that bad that if she finally settles I sit there desperately needing a wee because I daren’t get up because if I do, dog will jump to attention and start going mental again.

He asked me if I’d stay there overnight in a few weeks to look after dog whilst he’s away with work and I agreed but now I don’t know if I can handle it, and I don’t know if I can handle said dog’s presence at all anymore - it stresses me out

Is the dog a husky? Because they are highly intelligent, hyperactive and need a very very dedicated owner. I would bet a dollar to doughnuts the dog is bored and under exercised,

I did the same and don't regret it at all. He had two. They were so hectic. Jumping around, slobbering, it was disgusting. Everything was dog this, dog that, vet this, poorly tail that. I hated going to his place and him touching me with filthy dog hands

Why do you sit there politely putting up with it though? Ugh this annoys me. I’d have told him in no uncertain terms to keep the dog under control and that if the man wants my company then the whole dog barking, bouncing around and slobbery mouthing can fuck right off. He should want to prioritise your relaxation and happiness. Not having to sit there with a full bladder too scared to move.

I wouldn't be in a relationship with anyone with a dog as they always dominate and take over even if they're well trained, so this would be a big no from me.

You agreeing was the only unreasonably bit! I wouldn't have agreed-it sounds like really hard work.

I would invite your boyfriend round to yours instead going forward.

I’d have run for the hills. I wouldn’t have got through first meeting.

The dog trainer saud he is the problem. Says it all. He is not partner material. He is not father material. I would end it soon and hive him time to sort dog care.

Your bloke isn't meeting the dogs needs.
Is he going to meet yours?
