Should we rehome our puppy?

[Halleberry]

Please nobody yell at me, I'm finding this very hard as it is. I am nearly 7 months pregnant with my second child. We have a puppy who is 8 months old. When we got him I never knew I was pregnant. If I'd known is never have agreed to it. I've persevered and tried my best and although I love him very much, I can't stand his smell,mess,constant (and I mean constant) shedding. My hubby and son love him so much and do not want to rehome him but understand it's up to me because I'm the one who is left at home all day with his mess. I feel so depressed and down all the time I don't know what to do. Do I rehome him or do I keep him? I Struggled after the birth of my first son and I know I won't be able to give the dog all the attention he needs through the day ... But my hubby and son will make up for it in the evening. Any opinions or experiences tpu can share with me?

Thankyou

Many people believe that dogs that need to be re-homed must have something wrong with them such as health or behavioural issues. I think these are myth but their previous owners haven't mistreated them and if we can try for our dog there may definitely a solution.

Speak to a behaviourist about training your puppy. It sounds like you or your dp need to put some time in to house train him. It doesn't just happen.

What breed is the pup? I would sign your dp, ds and the pup up for training classes, if they want to keep the pup they need to make more effort with training.

I think you need to get the boys involved with training, play time, socialization and generally share the responsibility. I'm sorry to say it but it's a little unfair of them to put that decision on you especially if they would be upset.
