daycare doesn't seem like an option since we are all on a second shift schedule. I don't see that being the problem here - the dog isn't neglected. I believe this is an issue of stubbornness and years of improper training before I came into the picture. The fiance isn't ok with the behavior, she simply lets it go and doesn't do anything to change anything...however, I get the heat if she messes in the cage because of whatever reason.

If I walk in, and the fiance walks in behind me by a minute - I'm not even finished unpacking my bag and the fiance walks over and the dog messed the crate. I get yelled at like that minute was the golden minute the dog messed and somehow it's my fault.

I want to make the proper changes and do what is necessary here - regardless of previous actions. I don't want to argue with anyone - but I don't want to see ridicule for something I've done that I still don't feel comfortable with. I was honest and explained as much as I could to give a 100% background on the whole situation.

It's not like I light animals on fire and am publicly stating it, or running over boxes of kittens with a lawnmower and bragging about it.

I'm laying it out, looking for help. I hope people look past their initial response to flog me for smacking the nose and look into the situation for what it's worth and why I'm here.

Do I want the dog removed - heck no! Do I want to fix the problem - heck yes!
