I'd also say that in some cases, the other person doesn't notice what a big deal it is until they see an improvement.

For example- she's still thinking "my dogs are angels" because she's comparing them to that other lady she was living with. You, having seen and been with VERY well behaved dogs, know what it means to have a "good" dog. She just isn't seeing the problem.

I think if you can, with a trainer or walks or even day care for a week or so, get her to see an improvement she'll be like "wow! They're so much better! Maybe you were right! This is totally worth it!" and will hopefully step up to the plate to take some of the responsibility off of you. If not- then maybe talk about the relationship-ending thing.

She's just become acclimatised (is that a word?) to the situation as-is.
