Lady Bans Close Friend From Bringing Destructive Dog To Her House, Gets Tagged Bad Friend

by Maryjane

The most frequent grievance expressed by pet owners is that their dogs might be unruly or destructive when left unattended. Their dogs may urinate, spit, howl, bark, chew, dig, or attempt to flee.

These issues might be signs of distress, even though they frequently suggest that a dog needs to learn good manners. The presence of additional distress behaviors in addition to difficulties does not necessarily indicate that the dog is unaware of which toys are safe for him to chew on.

Rather, these are signs of separation anxiety in the dog. A dog that is extremely devoted to its owner may have separation anxiety as a result of extreme stress when left alone.

It's a severe ailment and a major cause of owners losing patience with their dogs and giving them up. However, there are numerous ways you can assist, but OP's close friend, Emily, wasn't willing to give it a trial.

Emily's dog has separation anxiety and gets very anxious and destructive when left alone, even for a few minutes. Whenever Emily brings her dog over to the OP's house, it ends up being very chaotic.

Her dog constantly whines, scratches at doors, and has even chewed up some of the OP's furniture. The OP tried to be understanding, but it's becoming too much to handle.

They decided to take action, but their best friend chose to withdraw instead.

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

I understand that telling Emily she can't bring her dog over anymore is a strong action that directly affects her. Emily relies on bringing her dog to my house as a way to manage her dog's anxiety, and by cutting off that option, I might be adding to her stress and making her feel unsupported.
I can see why she feels hurt and thinks I'm not being understanding of her situation. This makes me wonder if I'm being too harsh or insensitive to her needs, even though my own belongings and peace of mind are being compromised.

Many Redditors couldn't see the need to go with the dog if its going to be alone or was the dog still ruining the couch with Emily being present? Because if he's acting that way while she's around, it's definitely not separation anxiety.

Maybe visits should only take place at Emily's house if she wants the OP to be more accommodating. The OP was declared not the AH as Emily is acting badly both as a friend and a dog owner.
