So the new wife and I are trying to balance out time with both sides of the family. When we weren't living together our weekendsite would be the only time we saw each other. Now that we are living together try to make an effort to see family.
Long story short going to my mother's grandparents today helping with Christmas stuff. My mom doesn't like driving up there because at night it's hard for her to see. That's understandable.
So I offered to drive her, but her dog has to stay at home. The dog was an abused rescue dog. Very skiddish in the beginning tried to nip at my wife, who I was only seeing at that time. It took a long time, but the dog is almost use to my wife. Still my wife doesn't want to be in the car with the dog and only comfortable if in the house.
So my mom still adamant on brining the dog. Then offered well I'll drive you home in her car and the wife will drive my car home. Didn't go for that either.
Put Mom & Dog in the backseat. You & Wife in the front. The dog shouldn't be able to bother your wife with that much distance between them - and Mom should have HER dog under control if she's sitting next to it.
How big is this dog? Is it small enough to fit into a crate in the back seat? Dogs should be crated inside the car, anyway. It is their seat belt in case of a wreck, so that they are not injured, or do not escape and run away.
Other than that, wife trumps mother's dog.
Has anyone asked the grandparents if they want this skittish biting dog at their house?
Is this a dog that actually maliciously bit your wife or your wife wanting to assert her position over your mother and being dramatic about it?
It makes not the slightest difference why the dog bites. The dog bites and is not suitable to be out and about in polite company until such time as it learns better manners.
