Anyone ever rehomed 2 dogs?

Please try and keep judgment at bay. This isn’t a decision I want to make I am heartbroken and sobbing as I type this.

We have to small breed dogs from the same litter, 18 months old. They have been quite challenging from the start.

We recently had our DD who is our world but since this the dogs have been harder to care for as we’re adjusting to being parents and trying to train them whilst looking after a baby and DH has gone back to work is so difficult.

DH is getting annoyed as they are loud and still quite destructive, I am struggling daily taking care of them as they want lots of attention and whilst being a new mum and I’ve had to recover from a c section.

Just to point out they have never been aggressive with our baby whatsoever - this would be a completely different issue.

I feel guilty that I’m not giving them the attention they need as they want a lot and that I don’t have the time to train them 1-1 all day.

Has anyone ever revoked 2? Would they be split? I really don’t want to do this and would really not want them split as this would fill me with more guilt

But I don’t know if dogs trust would keep them together?

Again please don’t judge it’s just a thing we are considering as we are really struggling I don’t want to do this at all I feel sick with heartbreak. I don’t know anyone close to me who could take them and I just wish I did so that I’d know where they’d go.

Get a dog walker for a start so they get walked and played with in the day. Give them kongs with frozen food in to keep them busy, give them attention when your daughter is sleeping or can be put down or when you have friends/family visit. If you both want to make it work, you can. Dogs are part of the family, you’ll have a few tough months but it will get easier. So many people decide they don’t want their dogs when a baby comes along. Put the work in and your daughter will be best buddies with them in a few years.

Yep, same, I was BF too. And walking while DC slept. It’s hard. I get it. But it’s doable if you’re up for it. If you’re not, that’s for you to all decide.

Are you walking them during the day too? I used to take one out at a time while I pushed DC to sleep in the pram. Even a 20 mins blast will help with their pent up energy.

You never said if they are full males. If so, that’s going to be a cause of a lot of their frustration
