No, I understand why they would not want the dog hurting their new baby, but they went to so much trouble to keep the dog, and the dog was there first, and I've just heard too many stories about people getting rid of their pets because of the new baby. And "I have this aggressive dog that I need to make not aggressive" is not the best time to try for a baby, really.

na

were they really actively trying for a baby or did it just happen? or maybe they thought they would have the issue resolved and didn't realize how dangerous the dog could potentially be (even if it only occasionally bites) until they were actually expecting a child

[(Anonymous)]

They have been trying for a while.

I don't think I would expect someone to actually put off starting a family because they're trying to train a dog. to give them some credit, it's not like they decided they giving up on the dog as soon as they realized they were pregnant. they are still actively trying to resolve the dog's issues; realistically they've pretty much done everything they could for the dog and I would probably hesitate before trying to get someone to adopt a dog that is known to have aggression issues

[(Anonymous)]

That is true, they do still have the one last thing to try. I just got the update today, though, so it smarts a little to hear that it is the last chance.

ayrt

Yeah, I can understand that. It's rough situation all around :(

It's a shitty situation, no doubt, but the odds of someone adopting a dog with these kinds of behavioral issues aren't great. Hell, our overcrowded shelters can attest that it's hard enough getting people to adopt dogs that are well behaved. Maybe there's some kind of organization or something near where OP lives that specializes in rehabilitating dogs with aggressive tendencies.

People don't always get the chance to plan when they have their kids.

As for the rest, on one hand yeah. Too many people do use a baby as an excuse to get rid of their pets. On the other? I think in this case it might be justified. From what you've said, it sounds like they've tried just about every option there is to lessen their dogs aggression without it working, which does sometimes happen. And, in those cases, it's not exactly unheard of for shelters to refuse to take an animal [or for them to take them and turn around and put them to sleep once they get them because they're hard to adopt out at the best of times]. Which leaves looking for someone else to take the dog in, and *personally* I'd try that but there's a pretty good chance of that failing too, tbh.

So...I can see why they'd be looking at that option.
