"Mother" should have no dogs. You are old enough. Yes, even at 16, you are old enough to help train the dogs and take them out often to be sure that there will be no accidents. I've seen younger children than 16 housebreak little dogs. |

And about my mom keep consitency with keeping Luke off the couch, she has already messed that up. He found his own alternative, his little crate, but then my mom allowed him on the couch again. He will still go in his crate somethimes though, but right now he is loving the couch.
And I am hoping she does not hit him that hard ever again. She says she has self control and will never kill the dogs or anything, but then again, she did start out only by hitting their paws with a belt, although very lighly. Now she does what she did that night, hits them everywhere with the belt.
Also, I wouldn't mind getting a custom-made belly band if that ever happens again, but I think it would raise my mom's suspicion quite a bit, so I will have to check out the stores. | |
Danni~you are now stating that you mom did not only hit Luke but your a belt. I am very concerned, upset and worried for the welfare of both you and all of the animals in your home. You need to speak to your father about what is going on
today! There are stories on the news all the time about parents that lose control and
accidentally fatally injure their children because they are unable to control their temper. Although you might feel this behavior is normal and has happened in your home while you were growing up, this is not acceptable behavior by any means. Do you have siblings in your home? I fear for them as well. This entire situation needs to be dealt with by a trusted adult. I am so very sorry and if there is anything that I could do to help please send me a message.
THIS IS NOT ALRIGHT!
