To all you people who have said I'm a bad dog owner. Actually I'm not. You obviously didn't read my post because
A. I said I walk him
B. I said he was desexed
C. I said I give him bones
D. I said the chain is no life for him
Both dogs are outside together. They come in together so before you judge maybe you should know the facts! He went to puppy preschool when he was younger. He sits before food. He shakes your hand.
My daughter doesn't actually ride him she will try to climb on him I didn't write that bit correct she doesn't get on him and make him walk around or anything. I'd be telling her off if she treated an animal badly. She loves our dogs and will sit with them and pretending they are part of her game.
They are given bones. I walk them 5ks at least 4 times a week. He isn't on the chain 24/7 I'm not that cruel! He comes off and lays inside. He's off when I'm outside while my daughter plays. She tries to share her food with him. He gets veggies, rice, meat and biscuits plus bones etc. He is not a vicious dog. He didn't rip apart the animals he just chased them around and was too rough!
This page is supposed to be helpful and to be honest there are so many nasty cruel people on here. I don't treat my dogs badly and I chain him to keep him safe and in my yard while I am not home. I'm actually floored at some of the responses to my post because I'm sure not one of you are perfect either! Yes he has gotten a smack. No I don't sit there and beat him or anything. One smack! And that did not work and I haven't smacked him since.
I'm glad to see there are so many perfect people here ? I hope that karma comes back to bite you all for your nasty comments when I was asking for help and other things to do to ensure my dog is kept safe. And glad to see people assume and make shit up just because they can!
Thanks to all the people who didn't judge and actually gave constructive feedback!
Edit: and I'm sure you will all sit there and write nasty shit on this post still but I don't want to hear it. If you've got nothing nice to say don't say it at all because your all being judgemental bitches

Don't worry Hun,
I wrote a post and got absolutely slammed...its so bloody horrible!!
It actually is making me feel like never posting anything again,
I felt so terrible yesterday..
People can be cruel and nasty,I've definitely learnt that on here
Chin up ?Xx
I'm so sorry that you had nasty comments. I don't read every post as I get busy so I don't even think I would've seen it.
I hope your ok and there is a nice way to say something not sitting there saying shit just to be cruel! Pretty sure I said in my post it's no life for a dog to be on a chain and I'm pretty sure that I don't want him getting into the wrong hands or ending up with a shitty family because that would break my heart.
I hope your ok and I'm sorry people said nasty shit! Sometimes this page is an absolute joke with how some people treat others yet at times people can be helpful. It's such a cruel world we live in especially when people are reaching out for help.
X hugs to you ?
Exactly...and Thanks ?
But yeah,They seem to make there own stories up from what you've posted and then they go on a tangent,
I couldn't believe what I was reading,
Spent the whole day feeling like absolute crap!!
I was getting more and more anxious as the comments were coming in ?
I stopped reading cuz I could've believe the shit they were coming up with.
Don't feel shit for the way people judge and make up there own stories. None of them are perfect anyway.

I read your post but didn't comment but you came across to me as a caring, loving person who is frustrated and wants to do the right thing by her family and her pet. You genuinely wanted some advice, clearly said you didn't like the chain, I am actually dumb founded by the comments. Put it into perspective, some wrote you need to walk him or have him desexed, your post clearly saidyou had done both, so thhey are just half arsed comments from people who couldn't even take the time to read your post. Disregard them!
Thanks. Yep I sure did state these things. And I treat my dogs amazing it just sucks so bad that people read shit and even if it states things in there they still make crap up.
Take the good and ignore the bad. I don't feel comprehension is a strong point for humanity any more, the people who understood what you were asking for were the replies worth reading. I myself didn't comment because I have no real experience, I do however know someone that has their dog go to "doggy day-care" at the neighbours house while she's at work and another couple that drop their dog at their grandparents place for company during the day while they are both at work. The first suffers extreme anxiety, the second suffers from boredom when left alone. You said your mum is nearby, is this something she can help with in the short term while you keep looking at options?
thanks there were some worth reading and some not.
Unfortunately My parents work so that's not an option either ? They've had him before while I was in hospital with my daughter and he escaped from there yard too.
Might have to see what I can come up with tho.
I honestly didn't see any nasty comments on the thread, although I didn't follow the Facebook thread. When it comes to an animal there's a lot of people who feel very enthused about their opinions. Unfortunately it's just how it is, take it with a grain of salt and move on. Don't rub further to the wound or else you just make it worse :)
Let it make you stronger.
The good old Facebook jury. Reading some comments on fb makes me wonder how the human race is still alive.
I didn't comment on your original post because it was badly worded without the additional information required to make an informed comment.
Maybe ask your vet if there is anything else you can try, is fixing the fences up an option? If having the dog on a chain for part of the day is keeping him safe then so be it.
