First question - What is a belly band?

Also l am trying not to be rude here, but isn 't it a bit selfish to get a pup and then leave it alone for 8 hours a day? I think that all those who are thinking of getting either a pup or adult dog should think what is in the best interest of the animal before themselves. Also why put your self through all this guilt?

If l was working those hours, there is no way that l would leave a pup on its own. The poor baby is going to be traumatised within a few minutes of you leaving. Have you not got a a friend or neighbor that you trust who could have the pup during the day? Or what about a puppy day care?

Again l am not trying to be rude but just leaving toys and a tv on is ni comparison to having you with him.
