You have to be honest, a good and long lasting relationship is built on trust. Tell them you love them and then ask how they would feel if the dog had a good and loving home elsewhere. Don't make it a situation where they feel they are forced to pick between the two of you right away. Don't expect the dog to disappear overnight. The dog is probably your significant others "buddy" and the idea takes getting used to.

If this fails to work, develop a allergy, just kidding. Or how about trying to bond with the dog, you might surprise yourself and like the pooch.

You just need to say it flat out. If they choose the dog over you then it probably wasn't that great of a relationship anyway. If you compromise and accept the dog, it may breed resentment in the relationship later.

Be honest and tell them. Or try to be around the dog more and find something you like about it. It might be hard, but if you really pay attention to the dog, you will eventually see the dog's personality. Which I am sure I'll find something about the dog's personality to like.

Personally I think if you dont have a love of dogs like your partner then you are not compatible.

When you own a dog its part of your family.

A dogs love its unconditional. Unlike some partners x
