Well, kudos to you for coming to this board for advice before you got your puppy. Too bad you listened to none of it, I never could figure out why people waste their time and other's seeking advice when they discard it. Anywho, from what I understand through this post, Tanner is caged from 10pm through 5:30 pm with a 15 minute break.........

What a heartbreaker ~ and I seriously doubt he is out of solitary confinement for the whole four hours during the evening you are home. (Through your own admission you tire of him during this short period of time) I hope you and Heidi take a serious look as to what is best for this little guy, what you are doing to him is neglect at best. It tears out my heart, can't you at least wake up a bit earlier in the AM and take him for a nice walk or something, come on 15 minutes, what a dreadful situation for Tanner...........
The fact that he has not warmed up to you is the least of my worries.........
