where do i start?

we have a puginese called tilly . she is just turned one and i have posted on here a few times about her . she is so naughty. she is a theif and is destroying everything . i have all the patince in the world for her and time but she is so disobidient that dp has had enough. she ran off today and he was chasing her for 30mins . she crossed a dual carraige way and nearly got hit 2 times. she takes everything she can up the garden and eats it . we have holes anout a foot deep all over garden . she keeps weeing on ours and dd2 bed even if the door is open for 2 secs she is there . we have tried cage training her and it has made no difference. she has had a smack on her nose a few times and nose rubbed in wee but she does it again . i give her loads of attention when i get the chance but she is always up to something that she is never being good.

when we got her we wanted a toy dog (which she is ) which would be soppy and loving , tilly is boistrous and playful . you only have to move a foot and she will think your playing and eat it .

my friend has got some kittems that she needs to rehome and i have been bugging dp for ages . he said today that we can have 2 if " we get rid of the devil dog "

i just feel awful about it and wont forgive myself but i know its the right thing to do . the guilt is killing me and she hasnt gone yet . the kids have said that they dont care if she goes either . i think we all have had enough tbh.

pleawse tell me dp is right and that i need to be sensible about this ??

You've had a year to train her - maybe if you'd started earlier she would be well behaved by now. .

And yes you do have options - my dd doesn't really want her pet rats anymore but I won't rehome them. She has to learn that she has a responsibility towards them and she will look after them and play with them until they die. I don't want her to grow up with the sort of values where she thinks she can dump a pet when she can't be bothered with it anymore.

Whats you're dh going to do when the kittens scratch your sofa, run up your curtains, crap on the carpet and start bringing mice in?

oh God, as soon as I saw 'puginese' I knew it wasn't going to be good.
