I'm 23M and my roommate is 26M.

He has a Shiba Inu (Dice) who is 9 months old. Dice is cute as hell but poorly trained. I try to teach him whenever I can but it's not my dog and I'm not always home. I work 24hr shifts. Dice needs consistency. My roommate doesn't follow through so the things I train him in don't stick as well as they should. At this point it feels like negligence and I don't think my roommate deserves this dog.

Some recent incidents that make me feel this way:

Dice is horrible on leash. Very reactive. Poorly socialized (aggressive when he sees other dogs). The other day I was across the street coming home from the gym. My friend was with Dice on the other side when he spotted me. He slipped out of the collar and ran into traffic. I swear both me and my friend lost a year off our lives. He managed to make it though, despite having zero situational awareness, and for a moment it seemed like he was heading towards me. I crouched down slowly to encourage him over, but that's exactly when he decided to take off in another direction. We managed to catch him eventually.

He's bolted out of our apartment a few times too. He once ran inside another tenant's unit. It was a lady who was afraid of dogs. She freaked out, threw all the items she was holding on the ground and literally climbed me.

My roommate is just lazy and forcing me to pick up the slack, which I only do to avoid things like accidents in our shared apartment, and I've reached my limit.

I looked it up online and Shiba Inu dogs need firm discipline and a routine; they're not an easy breed to own. Their recall is bad, and they can't be off leash. The training needs constant reinforcement. My roommate is doing fuck all.

I've asked him to re-home his dog, or move out.

AITAH? How do you guys who have a roommate with a pet handle this?
