[QUOTE=buster84;2847499] This is my first dog, and again i live alone. Again there is no law stating a single person cant own a dog so quit saying im cruel for leaving him in the crate, because they cant afford to stay home all day long with there little puppy. Not everyone can afford to be an at home QUOTE]
If you really want help, then you need to realize it REALLY is all about HIM, he is a baby, he did not ask to come into this world. He did not stop you on the street and yell hey you take me home now! You made the choice and if you really want to keep your dog then it is time to grow up and forget the 9 or 14 hrs of sleep sweetie, those days are long gone. Set your alarm, take him out in the middle of the night for starters. That is free, it cost nothing, other than time and commitment. Make sure he has ate an hour or so before bed time, take him out before bed, set your alarm and take him out in the middle of the night. In the morning dont hit snooze, jump up grab your clothes and take him out again. Really it is not the dog who needs trained and I dont say that mean at all, but simply you. You need to rethink the commitment and what you are willing to do to make this work.
I bet if you ask your mom what she did for you when she brought you home as a baby you would be shocked of the countless nights of little sleep....how many times she changed you just for you to throw up on your clothes again, changed your diaper just to lay you down to see you soil it again, but I bet not once will she say you were evil and doing this to spite her, instead I bet her reply was you were just being a baby and I was just being your mom.....that is what you have to do for him at this time put him first or be grown up enough to let him go. |
