Dogs Training Blog

Ok im a 17 year old girl and I live with my mom and my brother who is 15. We have 2 dogs, a boxer mix and a brat terrier both about 3 to 4 months old. The constantly play fight and destroy things. They are like a tornado when they play, destroying EVERYTHING in their path. We originally started out with my brat terrier when my mom said my brother and I could both get dogs. About a month later my brother got his dog, the boxer mix. He payed attention to her for about a whole 2 days now she is just another thing he can ignore. He promised to take care of her when he got her but now it seems that I do everything for her. I feed her, walk her, train her, take her to the vet the list goes on… The thing is that having to care for two young puppies day by day can be so stressful! I go to school full time and work part time. When I do have some spare time I have to do home work but I always make sure the dogs are properly cared for. We have a nice kennel run in our backyard that they ger out in when I can not watch them and they also have their indoor kennels but its not fair to either of them to leave them in the kennel all the time. Dont get me wrong I love my dogs to death but I just dont have the time for 2 right now… at least not 2 puppies. Many people say to just get rid of his dog and believe me to the right home I would but my brother does not want to get rid of her and my mom wont let me. So im stuck with 2 furry balls of stress. At times I cry because of all the stress it gets to be way too much. SO IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE PLEASE READ THIS PART>>Can anyone help me find a salution to this mess im in? I am at witts end and have no idea what to do anymore. Everynight I go to bed with a head ache. I cant train both and I cant get rid of his dog. Please no bad comments I dont need more drama now.
