Before I convinced her about it, she wanted to keep the dog in the garage. I told her "NO..you can't keep a puppy, or a dog in a garage." So, she said the dog will stay inside.

I hate this.
If you're really so against it, you may want to just do as Karen suggests and get her a couple of really good books, and, point her in the direction of a good obedience class for puppies. I think she's just uneducated, but, if it's something you really hate, then, you may not want to get too involved. But, if it's just venting, then, look at this as an opportunity to teach a person on the care and attention a dog needs. That's a good opportunity!
