Barking, What can be done?

sorry, no sympathy from me. dogs do not naturally behave nicely in the house, you have to teach them to not destroy your stuff. dogs naturally fight over food and bite cats and bite each other. You have to teach them to not-do-so. Also, I'm curious, do these dogs DO anything or do they just hang out? probably a spot of exercise would help tremendously....

I think that you will find most everyone here is very compassionate and willing to help.  However, some of us may feel like we are being conned with all the variations in what we are being told.  We've gone from the dogs sleeping inside in your bed, to being outside to be beaten nearly to death, to a spare room, to damage beyond control, from an $800 vet bill to a $1200 vet bill, and gosh, it's a little hard to know if we should be compassionate or wary.

Thank you..I have had to bite my tongue here...something here just does not add up...So MANY different stories

Max isn't my dog so I try not to deal with him since he annoys me to no end. In the last three weeks I have a 1200vet bill due to that dog. I am going to make my husband spend time with max Solo tomorrow since Max is his. I am personally tired of dealing with someone else animals.

I'm sorry, but this statement makes me very upset. You have been given plenty of advice from many people here, but all you are trying to do is defend what you are doing. You can looking for suggestions, you got them. Now you are finding any excuse, from he was beaten to he's not my dog, I don't care about him. I don't understand what is going on here, I really don't. I would love to help, to give any advice that I could, but your stories are not making any sense, and you don't seem to be thinking about any of our ideas. Please let us know what advice you are looking for, if you want us to tell you that you are doing everything right and the dog is the problem, you are not going to find that here. Please concider trying the things stated in this tread, if you stick to them, you will have a happy and obedient puppy.

Actually,I was thinking the same thing---and what do mean "someone else's animals"? This is your husband, not just anyone. You should be working together on issues. Don't have all these pets if it's so stressful for you.This situation isn't good for the animals or your whole family.  That poor dog is going through hell, being outside all the time, beaten,yelled at.  And I don't know if I read it wrong or you typed it wrong, but it sounded like you said something about your husband "shooting" the dog first after it ran thru the room.  The house is a zoo and it isn't the dog's fault---he's a bundle of nerves.  If I was close by,I'd rescue him in a heartbeat!
