| This is very sad. I don't spank my girls at all. Making a noise is enough to scare them. I had a Beagle that would pee and poo when he was scared because he was abused. However, he did settle down after he got used to us. I am concerned that fear is the main reason your Luke may be using the bathroom in the house. In my opinion, the best option may be to rehome him. At least he would not be spanked. Also, I have to say this: If you don't want accidents in the house don't get an inside dog. Maybe you could nicely remind your mother of this. Maybe you should have your dad call animal control. It may be best to get Luke out of this situation. I am so sorry you are having to deal with this at your age. Hugs and prayers to you and your furbabies.

I don't think the OP needs to be confrontational at all. I think it will make matters worse.

| I agree. I was worried when I saw suggestions for her to call Animal Control herself or to confront her mother about the legal consequences, such as telling her about the fine or jail sentence. That is very bold and has the potential to make her mother very angry. She may feel responsible for the dogs and is old enough to care for them to a certain extent, but at the end of the day she is just sixteen. An adult needs to handle this situation, not her. I hope this can be resolved in a way that benefits all of those involved.

| <i>Are you close to your dad? Does he know how your mother can be at times? Could you stay w him if things got worse at your house? </i> Yes, I could live with my father if things got too bad. However, I don't think it'll get that far. I've never been hit hard enough by her to leave bruises, or anything. She won't hurt me at all. And I won't talk to her again about calling someone. I'm not going to confront her at all, actually, but will just be watching the dogs silently and carefully. She did seem very upset when I suggested that. Also, my mom is not all bad. She doesn't beat them every day, or just for no reason. Still, even if he did pee on the couch, I still think leaving bruises was a stretch. And again, thank you guys so much! I feel a lot better when I come on here and see all the support, help, and suggestions! |

| This post shocks me terribly. I can't imagine anyone striking a yorkie, much less leaving bruises. It's too sad that yorkie is left in the home. "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.

| Oh my god, I dont say this to be mean but your mom is not nice to your dog ! If I were you I would not let her go near him without you watching, and if he does something wrong and she's going to hurt him then go into the ''fight'' and try to stop her ! Where I live this is animal abuse and here the dog would propably be taken of a person who does this (its illegal to hurt any animal in some way, except accidents ofcourse). My Fido is not allowed around my mom without me watching cause she gives him constantly something unhealthy to eat and he's too fat I'm trying to make him loose weight, I just have Fido all the time with me when I'm around my mom. Your dog propably does this cause he's scared ! IF you two (everyone around the house) would use positive training on him this would propably stop. Try to encourage him all the time when he's just doing nothing, just maybe laying on the floor chilling, then say something nice to him and pet him. If Fido peed on the floor when he was younger the only thing that worked (i've babysitt many dogs and I worked on an animal clinic so I know much about this stuff) was to be positive, encourage when the dogs behaving well, and when he pees inside or poops then just say ''NO, bad dog!'' and let him go outside immediately undil he finishes if he wasnt done yet. If 1 dog is allowed in the couch, all have to be allowed ! its impossible to allow 1 but not the other , then its just constant whining and the other dog feels like he's left behind.

| You might want to think about getting "belly bands" for Luke. These would keep him from peeing in the house.

| Who told her to confront the Mother I didnt see that. I do think another adult like her father should be told though especially if she is afraid of her which is what Ive got from her postings
