It's either me or the dog

This is a very common statement heard at around six to eight months of age, but not from your dog. It is usually expressed by one spouse or significant other to their partner.

By this time the dog has gone through its teething and it's chewed up everything in the house and may have either been housebroken or not housebroken.

He's either been given structure or he has not. If the “it’s either me or the dog” phrase has been uttered, it’s a pretty good bet that structure and training have not been put in place.

I see this all the time, where one of the spouses comes in and says, "My wife says either me or the dog." Or, “My husband says either me or the dog." It's a very sad thing because a lot of that could have been avoided early in life with some training and commitment. But it's a common statement if you let your dog go wild and don’t try to get him any help.

What’s sad about it? The fact that over 4 million dogs are euthanized every year in the United States alone and that over 80% of all dogs in the country will never see their first birthday - all due to a lack of understanding, communication, realism and commitment on the part of many American dog owners.

When your dog loses the “dog or me” contest it generally results in a death sentence for an innocent victim.
