Had enough

[Mothertrucker2020]

I have 2 dogs 1 male yorkie 1 female husky. I took in the yorkie when a neighbour moved and left it roaming the street. I've had him 2 years now, he gets PLENTY of exercise plus the garden door is open all day. I have a very large garden. He has no health problems , after being neutered which i did 1 year ago he won't stop peeing and pooing in the house. I got a crate to stop this however as soon as his out he peed on the floor I put him in the garden he goes again. He comes back in and poos on the floor. At night I put him in the crate he barks all night. My other dog is getting fed up with him. I wanted to rehome him when i got him as i didn't want another dog, but my daughter insisted she would look after him . However she has moved out 4 months ago and couldn't take him, but keeps guilt tripping me whenever I say he would be better off with someone who has the patience with him . Cause I'm about to lose my last nerve . I have never been a fan of small dogs because they are so snappy . I'm just done with this dog. Help

Rehome him. Daughter will just have to get over it.

With the best of intentions, this isn't working for you, the Yorkie or your other dog. It's very stressful for all of you. Do the little one a favour and rehome him to a charity or an experienced owner with full disclosure about his behavioural issues. There are homes out there that would work for him. It was really kind if you to take him in but with the best will in the world, it wasn't the final solution. Don't see it as failure, it's a good and responsible thing to do.

Tell your daughter that either she has to take full responsibility for him or you'll be looking to rehome him. It's not fair of her to put that pressure on you! It's clearly not working so something has to change. Good luck.

Please sign him over to a rescue - one that can assess his needs, find a suitable home and provide back up if the adoption fails.

Here is a breed specific rescue:

The Yorkshire Terrier & Toy Breed Rescue (UK) 07852965163 10am-4pm

Yorkshire Terrier & Toy Breed Rescue is managed on a totally self funding voluntary basis by Sue Harrowell. We have a policy that every dog coming into our rescue is treated with love and respect and given the utmost care.
We work all over the United Kingdom with the help of a small but very dedicated team of volunteers who foster/transport & fund raise for the rescue.
We take dogs from owners who are unable to keep them, and unwanted strays from pounds. Our rescue dogs are not housed in kennels, they are fostered in homes so that their behaviour can be assessed in a family situation.
They are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms and micro chipped. Other necessary treatment such as kennel cough, dental work and any other veterinary work will be carried out as necessary.
Homes will be home checked prior to dogs leaving fosters and follow-up checks once adopted. We continue to support our owners with help and advice, including working with specialist vets, dog behaviourists and trainers.
Should the new owner's circumstances change we ALWAYS have the dogs back into our care for subsequent rehoming.

Rehome him ASAP. He will know that you don't like him and the stress on you both will probably be contributing to the toileting issues.

Either get a behaviourist in if you actually like the dog and want to keep him
or if daughter wants him - she takes him on
or send to reputable rescue centre.

He doesn’t need a behaviourist - he just needs house training! If he has a door open all day, so he can come and go as he wishes, he has never actually been house trained.

Its a relatively easy fix for someone who wants to try, I’d recommend you re-home him to someone who is willing to put some work into him ?

 

[CorvusCorax]

'Like' isn't the emotion which oozes from the first post....don't get me wrong, it's crap not gelling with a dog, but like kids, they're not stupid, they know, pretending doesn't work.

Like everyone says, re-home him, it's not working for any of you (him, husky or you). There's nothing wrong in doing the responsible thing and letting him find a home he will be loved in. I'm also not a "small dog person" and unless they are utterly perfect I'd probably find them irritating, however I'm happy to work with or accommodate quirks / poor behaviour in bigger dogs, we like what we like x

You don't like him - that's ok - I love dogs but I know a couple who need rehoming at the moment and I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. My husband actually likes one of them and would have him but I know his life would be miserable with me (I'm the one who is home most) and if I'm honest I don't want a third dog.
I cannot imagine how hard it is to have a dog you don't want. His will know you don't like him and be anxious and miserable. His house training is probably solvable but you still won't like him. Please please rehome him responsibly.

Rehome him it’s no point a dog knows when you don’t like them .
The breed specific rescue sounds perfect .

 

[Clodagh]

Rehome and don't feel bad about it. I rehomed a spaniel that just really got me down, yes I could have spent a lot of effort trying to fix her but I didn't like her at all and so wasn't invested. She now has a fabulous home with a man that adores her, we are all much happier.

Poor little dog, rehome him to someone that wants him and will put in the time and effort in he needs to sort his issues out. You clearly dont like the dog and resent him so find him a home that does want him
