I would never believe that a dog would come fully trained, I just liked the fact that alot of what I have read is that after the hard time of training they do end up being one of the best dogs you could have inside. And this dog will absolutley NOT be on my carpet until he is fully trained!! He will be shut off from all the carpet, we have hard floors in the kitchen, hallway, breezeway and dining room. My husband feeling the way he does in my opinion is not bad its a good thing no one wants pee on the carpet of a brand new house, but when you do want a dog inside you can make it work. We have read about the belly bands or diapers for the dog and we will probably do that IF he is ever on the carpet.
I want to go ahead and get a dog now while my son is young so he can grow up with him, I only want 1 kid so this will have to be his sibling so to speak.
And if you would ever meet my son you would be amazed by how gentle he is with any animals or babies. Of course he will be supervised until the dog is older and I know he can trip over the dog or whatever but he has been around my dads jack russell puppies for almost 2 months now and I would not worry about him with them at all. He understands they are little and you have to be careful. |
