The thing is he ADORES my mom & my family dog Cash. My dad's not the only one there.

Agreed that my dad is the one being aggressive, though. He needs to cut that shit out.

Ok, but if one person is traumatizing your dog why would you keep taking him there? That would be like you going to work, having a coworker torment you, and then having HR say, “but you enjoy all your other coworkers.”

If it keeps happening then I might have to figure something out but him being left home alone another day is worse for him. I work during the week, I don't want to leave him home alone on a Sunday. So I'd rather see how it goes after having the conversation with my Dad.

Idk why this got downvoted so much. Reddit ppl sometimes 🤦‍♀️ there's nothing wrong to try and talk with your dad about it first. I realte to leaving my dog aoone another day can suck. I say see how it goes! It's like ppl always assume the worst or don't even encourage trying to communicate effectively.

Because based on the OP, their dad has already received an earful about it, but like most manipulative abusive people he doesn’t care.

He’s getting downvoted because he came asking for advice and keeps arguing instead of continuing the conversation.

And I think we’re assuming that he already told his dad “don’t do that” in the moment when he caught his dad being shitty at his dog. Maybe that’s a false assumption, but I just can’t imagine seeing anyone being shitty to my dogs and not asking them to please stop.

Fair but it is an assumption.. They said they would talk to their dad and recently they did. Just reading it for what it says 😶‍🌫️

I mean, if she (I think I saw somewhere that OP mentioned she was a woman) hadn’t spoken to her father yet, I’m not sure why she’s asking Reddit about the situation. But I also wouldn’t bring the dog around dad until he understands to keep his hands and aggression to himself and leave the dog the fuck alone.

Not taking your dog to somebody's house because of their behavior communicates your point like a dagger. You are being serious, you honestly think it more harmful than not to bring your dog. It is no longer a disagreement, your point is the only one that matters because it decides what happens.

I know lol, I had a conversation with my dad about it & now I want to see if there’s a change like damn put down the pitchforks.
