Dog's don't develop social problems because they are dogs, they develop social problems because of the lack of human direction and they get confused and insecure. If it is that busy that you don't have time for the training, then you should rehome her and not get any more dogs. This is just my opinion, sorry if you don't like it, but it's truly how I feel. You are always so angry at her, and if you are that agnry at her on here then you are probably angry at her in the home and she can tell. That could be a big part of the problem. I hope you can find her a good home if you can't find a way to spend the time necessary with her.
I have in home counselors in my home, and check things out. Don't you think that if they smell dog urine in my house that they're going to take my NOT even 3 year old away?????

Obviously you think that your perfect and that you haven't had any problems with dogs peeing in your children's beds over and over again.

So don't judge me.

Sorry that's just how I feel.
