Dog ownership brings on a lot of responsibilities. One of them is properly training them.

Dogs are social and extremely playful animals. And that obedience and playfulness can be conflicting terms, right?

Well, not necessarily. By training a dog, you are not restraining its lively and playful character – you are just setting boundaries.

And that makes your life together much better. Some dogs are easier to train than others.

It has to do with the breed and the dog’s personality. Each dog is different, they are not all clones of the first member of the breed.

So, training may be challenging. In those cases, it is best to consult a professional trainer.

But they don’t come cheap. And even after the training is complete, you still have to continue working with the dog to keep its training fresh in mind.

Dogs tend to forget, and you have to renew that knowledge all the time. If you live with others, it gets trickier.

That’s because everyone has to be in it. All people in your home must follow the procedures and guidelines.

And that is so hard when the dog is so cute, right? One Redditor posted her problem which perfectly illustrates the problem.

She asks: “AITA for asking my mom to not ask my dog to come?” Read the full story below:

OP asks:

She is a young woman, still living with her parents. She has a dog

The dog came with some behavioral issues, which required a $2,000 training to fix.

Her parents love the dog and they are absolutely spoiling it

OP asked her parents to stop several times, but they say they simply can't resist spoiling the dog.

It all turned into a big fight

And now they want OP to move out

OP also posted an explanation about her living arrangements

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole:

This Redditor has a point: "So your parents call all the shots in your life and you think you'll get them to listed to you when it comes to raising your dog?"

It sounds like OP doesn’t have enough time for your dog as it is.

Two untrained dogs around?

Sounds about right:

Redditors get her frustration

Practice is needed

Consistency also

This is a good analogy:

They should be following OP's training.

Her dog is going to suffer, too

OP is a young woman, still living with her parents. She has a dog.

The dog came with some behavioral issues, which required $2,000 in training to fix. Of course, she’d want to see that investment paying off.

But her parents are making it hard on her. They love the dog, and they are absolutely spoiling it.

And it all leads to a huge fight. So, what do you think?

Who is right here? OP or her parents?
