Hi, I'm moving in with my mother to escape an abusive situation at my dad's house. But I have a little toy poodle, about 5 pounds, that I absolutely can not abandon, i love her. she means very much to me.
I inherieted her from my sister (who abandoned her), and she wasn't well trained or well socialized as a puppy. I try my best, but she's an older dog, and on top of that, I'm limited (due to a variety of reasons) in ability to re-train and socialize her. At my dad's house, they have another dog; a very dominant larger toy poodle that they've settled into being amicable towards each other, except when my dog has food or a toy and the other dog is too close.
My mom's dog is bigger, about 75 pounds, and very well trained. Very well trained and very, very friendly. He just wants to play with any dog (or person) he sees.
If their ages are relevant, My dog is about 9 years old now while my mom's dog is around 5 years old.
You can understand the severity of this situation, pretty much my entire decision to move in with my mother hinges on them getting along, or at least nobody biting the other.
What do I do? Is it too hopeless and I should just stay with my dog in a hostile situation? That's the only other option, I'm not even entertaining the idea of abandoning my dog and moving without her.
