Advice needed

Hi everyone, I'm new on here and don't know all the abbreviations etc. I need some advice please.

I have two rescue dogs. They had a huge falling out and now cannot be together inside our house. For various reasons too long to go into we are unable to rehome either dog.

I have had a baby since this fallout and I am finding home life pretty unbearable. Having to keep two dogs separated and then worrying about the safety of my baby is just too much.

On top of that my husband and I fight about the dogs all the time. It's the only thing we fight about. The male dog in particular drives me crazy every single day as he is a very dominant dog and tries to dominate me all the time.

We have worked with four behaviorists, tried training methods, I've read books, watched videos, even hired an animal communicator. Nothing helps and nothing changes the situation. Each dog is exercised, stimulated and cuddled every single day yet it makes no difference. They are both toy, food, bed and human possessive. There is no way to determine what is going to start a fight (they've even fought over vomit) and it is incredibly difficult to separate them when they do.

I'm at my wits end and I don't know how much more I can take. What would you do?

Rehome one or both of them in an instant.

I doubt very much that you really can't.

Rehome. Everyone in that house sounds miserable, including the dogs. Give them both a chance at a happier life and rehome one.

I'm going to be ruthlessly honest - I'd opt to rehome, but I am not sure that any rescue would take either. They have already demonstrated that despite lots of support they are aggressive, and that you worry for the safety of your baby. But if you truly believe that the dogs are dangerous to your child or any human, it's a no-brainer. You rehome and if not possible, you have to euthanise.
