lol idk what being an adult had to do with anything. sometimes people leave things sitting around, doesn't mean they should have to come home and find it ruined or chewed up. sure the kids can be more responsible, but so can his wife in this situation.
Well if you pay for your own stuff, you began to appreciate it a bit more? So if I lost my phone, there would be no one to buy me a new one, so I am being more responsible and careful. I'm not really blaming the kids, kids are kids.
And I am with you in the: wife should be more responsible - thing.
i think ts already said she is not, and has never really been responsible. that's not about to change over night.
It's a dog, train it. Obviously you have some $$, get the dog doggie obedience classes an a shitload of chew toys. Play with it more, it has to much energy, or give it to someone that will take care of it properly.
Serious question, will this be effective if I'm not around? Or anyone else who is going to be keeping a responsible eye on the dog during the day. I work 10 -12 hour days, the kids are in band and athletics and have long days as well. Would there be any upside to obedience training in this situation since the problem in the first place is my wife is being irresponsible with her dog?

so this is what happens when a dog is bought by someone unable to take care of it
It's not our only dog, it's this particular one that is an issue. My dog stays outside unless the weather is really bad and isn't destructive if I bring her in. Lot's of bad assumptions being made in this thread. Thanks to the people who actually tried to be helpful. My wife's daschund died of old age a few years ago. She did fine with that dog, but it didn't have the behavior problems this one does. This dog is just too high strung to be in the house all day, which brings us back to initial problem. My wife thinks she is too young to be outside for more than a few minutes at a time. We do live out in the country so there are some dangers, but she big enough to start learning be outside in the dog run.

I think the best way would be to have your wife involved in the classes, if she really doesn't want to help the dog get better find a no kill shelter or rescue group.

LOLIs the dog humping shit constantly? It could easily mean that she's cheating on you and only the dog (and the other guy) knows.
LOL
