My godsister mandy has a 7 mth old daughter payton. Well mandy also is living at my house w/ her husband and 7 yr old son. Well when they started staying here we sat them down and told them no dogs are left alone with the baby so that noone caould get hurt. Especially scirracco when he is asleep he is a ex racing greyhound they grew up in kennels they arent accustomed to ppl coming up to them when they sleep. He CASNT be touched when hes asleep i wont even do it. Well mandy seems to know that she knows all ands cant do wrong. She left payton in the family room with scirraccoo asleep and she touched his foot and because he was startled he snapped. he DIDNT bite her but his tooth scratched her cheekl i mean this dog lets that baby do ANYTHING to him when hes awake but he was asleep. Now she is blaming us because of her mistake that we emphasize about daily!!!! Plus she HIT scirracco HARD!!!!! ive tapped them on the nose yes when they needed it. but never hit them. we also have told her quite bluntly not to hit our dogs exp. scirracco and patches(bad submissive issue) She has also takin to displining our dogs. And telling me what to do with my dog!!! She abuses her so i dont want her touching ours (hers shrink away if any human enters the room) What should i do about this??? And the fact that she seems to think she can treat me and my vro like its not our house when my moms not there so my mom won t say anything cuz she doesnt see it. Please help. This is not the first time we have had a incident with payton and the dogs also

You need to have your entire family sit down together and re-explain the rules regarding the dogs and her family and that those rules are in place for safety reasons. Just because she is living under that roof does NOT means she has aquired any say in how your family deals with their children and pets. She is a houseguest by the grace and goodwill of your family and needs to remember that.
I think the best advice I can give is to try and get this woman out of your house! You have to persuade your Mum.
1. For disobeying the rules that you set out quite clearly for her
2. For getting her child into dangerous situation, if it had been worse would she have had any problems with suing you?
3. For hurting your dog when you have clearly told her not to.
4. For abusing her own dog, that makes her seem like a nasty person anyway.
Also if I were you I would get the RSPCA (or the equivalent over there) on to her for abusing her own dog.
At least try to get your Mum to support what you are telling her if she hasn’t already.
Good luck!

she wont support me because she doesnt see it and doesnt want to cause problems. i would do the same thing you are saying if i had the suthority. and i dont want to get athe aspca in here because i cant handle that stress right now im trying to persuade her that they dont have time for their dogs seeing as they hardly have time for her 7 yr old son and his 5 yr old daughter. and the one on the way
