Mother in Law is in a tight spot and needs to come live with use for a few months. Problem is her dog urinate on the walls and is very dominate with other dogs.
Is it too much to ask for her to find somewhere else to put the dogs. Or an I obligated to take them as well?

its not unreasonable to ask her to find a temporary home for the dog if she can not control his behavior. You are doing her a favor in having her live with you. The least she can do in return is to respect your home and belongings and not let her dog ruin them. She should be accepting the responsibility as a pet owner and either stop her dogs behavior or offer to have the house proffesionally cleaned. Not saying anything will put strain on you, and your M-I-L and your wifes relationship together and make everyone, including the dog miserable. Good luck!!!

Why is her dog urinating on the walls?? That is really gross. Is she taking them outside?? Can you not kind of leave the dogs outside for a little while?? I would tell her that if she is going to bring her go then she needs to watch it and make sure it doesn't urinate on anything inside the house. If she cannot do that then she needs to leave it at home or something and have someone watch over it while she's gone. Or put it in a kennel while she's at your house.

She should know that her dog has a habit of lifting it's leg and peeing everywhere, so for your hospitality, she in return should not bring her dog, if she can't do that, she should at least have the courtesy to maybe put the dog in a fenced area or cage for the time being. Because it's really terrible when you can't control a male dog from lifting their legs. And a new enviroment would definitely be more interesting for the little guy!

i'm agreeing with anybody else right here even as they say to save the puppy and get rid of the different. He likely is getting indignant on the youngsters because he needs the interest the dogs receives, it truly is competition to him and he likely feels it truly is taking his position. you're ideal that a dogs isn't a "ingredient" to in reality accept away, compared to a human a dogs will love you better than it truly is going to love even itself, and stay unswerving to those who like it. in case you've placed the attempt and time into it to enable it understand it is your pal to stay, then you definitely might want to be a lesser man or woman to enable it bypass. actual, it appears like issues are going downhill along with your husband, perchance "putting apart" yet no longer divorcing yet might want to help him understand his methods. I in reality say that because you aspect out 5 babies, and if it truly is been 20 years with him they are likely no longer all grown up, and it truly is in no way exciting to advance up without a father, if he can substitute then enable him, yet when he quite has gotten to that degree, then it truly is optimal to bypass on.

You are not obligated to take them. I would give the dogs a few days to see how they act. Tell her before she moves in that if the dogs do not behave and litter your house that she will have to find another place for them. It is not your responsibility, its hers.

Well now that depends on how your husband is about this ? is he one of those husbands that backs down when his mom says something ? My ex did that we took his mom in for a little while and she has a yorkie that insisted on raising his leg to my furniture . My husband told me that if I had a problem with this he would speak to his mom . guess what I ended up getting another couch because he could not speak to his mother about anything because she always threw it up in his face about how she had raised him by herself when she could have put him up for adoption .So needless to say i said nothing to her .He always was made to feel ashamed for standing up to her so be carefull about starting a family war over the dog. good luck .

I don't think so, not in that type of situation.
I am a dog lover and have one, he goes almost everywhere with me. I would welcome anyones dog in my home, as long as he or she was well-behaved. I would NOT tolerate someone's dog lifting their leg though. If my dog had a problem with this, I wouldn't expect others to allow my dog in their home either.

It's very kind of you to take her in for a few months, but that doesn't extend to her dirty obnoxious dogs. Tell her she will have to make separate arrangements for them. She won't like it, but that's how it is.

I think you are not obligated to take her destructive dog...it's nice of you to help her out, but she might have to find another solution for her pets.

Are her dogs neutered? I would insist on that, but I would not make her get rid of them.
