You can spend 4 weeks getting them use to harnesses, collars, dragging the leash behind, or basic obedience. I do understand some people do not like the idea of pad training. I was one of them! Pad training has come in handy. The dog potty areas at airports are so tiny and too noisy for my scaredy cat. A pad in the restroom is a good alternative.  |
I am, I am!!!
But then again I'm not a big germ-a-phob anyways... I think people are way too obsessed with washing hands and stuff lol. Don't get me wrong, I always wash my hands when I leave the bathroom and stuff, but I just think some people take things so far.
I think it'd be different if I lived in an apartment and got a puppy or something. But I was living 50% of the time at my dads house where there is a big fenced in backyard and with my dads dog going outside, there was no way to keep Jax in. LoL. The other 50% was at my moms house where, again, she had her dog who was outside all the time. Well of course there WAS a way but I didn't feel it was necessary. We country livin' people
Like I said, he experienced a lot from 9 weeks - 4 months. I seriously couldn't even imagine him being inside 24/7 during that time period!!!
This was him a lil' bit older at 5 months, but still, he would have driven me crazy even back then staying inside for that long!
