| I hope you can figure out some reasonable solution, some dogs are harder to train than others. I have a GSD that has been in training serveral times, and somethings its like pulling teeth with him, barking can sometimes be a problem with him, some days he does good, others not. Bottom line you have to do whats best for you and your baby. You have to live with the situation, the rest of us don't. I know how hard it is to get into rental homes with pets. I love my babies, but we have 3 rental homes, and don't allow inside pets, due to some in the past destroying the houses. Rental homes are a investment, and cost to much to have to remodel after every renter leaves. You would be surprized what a little cat or dog can do. Some people just don't care, and let them do whatever. Thats why so many don't do it. As far as muzzling or drugs, to me that is cruel for the dog. I would hate to give my dog medicine all the time, no telling what the long term effects would be on a tiny dog. I hope you find something that works best for you. Sending hugs, I can't imagine how hard this is for you. I would do anything I had to if it was my baby.

My dad has a house he rents out too. That's what we've done in the past, and as long as we're clear on the "pet terms" and people agree to it, it hasn't been a problem. Most of the remodeling we've done in the past gets down regardless of whether or not a person has pets. We paint, replace carpets, check everything electrical, all the pipes are checked, and we clean out what the past renter has left behind. We've had worse tenants without pets than the ones that have pets.

The numbers sound steep, but wouldn't the debarking surgery also cost an arm and a leg? (I'm assuming here and the OP can correct me on that) For me, it would be worth while to put the money of a debarking surgery into a good deposit at a new place, a house, that allows pets.

| Do you have the option of taking her to work? I used to take my very tiny Yorkie to work in a crate. She stayed under my desk. I had time to take her out to potty when she needed and she was ever so happy. |

I'm going ahead with Sophie's spay surgery tomorrow. (She's 16 mos, but I waited at the advice of my vet because she was underweight. Now she's holding steady at 2 1/2 lbs.) Tomorrow she'll also get a couple teeth pulled and be micro-chipped, but I am NOT having her bark softened. I can't thank everyone here enough for your opinions, perspectives, and suggestions. What an amazing community!! | |
