I think you sound like you're blaming all of this on the puppy...We paid $500 for an obedience trainer for our outside dogs..the thing he said that stuck with me most is when a dog does something wrong, it's not the dog, it's the owner....! There are more important things than a clean house..I like a clean one too, but you know what, if it doesn't get cleaned, it's not the end of the world..These dogs have such short lives, and you should give them the best life you can, and if you can't do that, then maybe you should find someone that will give him the love he so deserves..this just breaks my heart!!!! |
