persephone Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 No visits, if it were me . They sold the dog...they have checked she's OK .. now they need to let her settle . tell them their visits make her very unsettled .... Make sure she is registered/microchipped in YOUR name ..and in a good locked yard ... and politely tell them you will send photos if they want , but visits are not a good idea.

Paptacular! Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Would yourself and the old owners feel ok about meeting in a public place, like at a park? This way the dog might focus more on the novel surrounding and the car trip home (if she enjoys car rides) than the fact that the previous owners are disappearing again.

Rysup Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 How long have you had her? I would tell them that she needs a few months to settle in before she can see them again. And then yes, at a park, not at your home. It's not fair on the dog at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Rysup and once you've told them this, make it clear that you will contact them (not them contacting you) when you feel the time is right for a meeting in a public place. She is your dog now and you need to be firm with them and ensure they understand your position. Edited July 27, 2011 by Aziah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyTansy Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 get firm with them sinta if you are having trouble getting through - make it about the dog,which it ought to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I agree with the above.... just be straight up that these visits are not on... especially if your poor dog is getting so distressed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ams Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I would say no, not at all. They have rehomed the dog and it is now part of your family. They need to move on and give the dog time and space to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullyisious Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Get them to give you their email address so that you can send them photo's an updates Via that for a while because the visits are too much for the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do this too. I would be so sad if I was forced to give Hugo up and the new owners wouldn't let me see him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not their dog anymore. Talk about have your cake and eat it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjelkier Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 No way. Its your dog now, not theirs. They know she is happy and that's where is stops. And email address and photos occasionally would be fine but no visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsfevr Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Did you buy her ?? Did you have trail period or any conditions if it didn't turn out?? When you took her on what exactly was the deal with visiting,you say to ensure she was in a good environment so what happens if they changer there mind about that?? How long do they expect to visit for?? When they visit how long do they spend ???1.2.3 hrs??Do they take her away or just stay at your place?? Personally i agree with others you can't have your cake & eat it. Yes they have had difficulties & obviously no one was prepared to make the effort to keep the dog ,you are not a carer or boarding facility but the new owner . As for unsettling i totally get that,we run boarding kennels & get owners who want to visit or send family members & we won't allow it because the dogs do get very distressed after wards & very confused . It is time to lay the rules down & you need to look at the long term future . How long do they want to do this for . You adapted there dog not the family unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
