I would agree with Wylie's Mom. I usually get annoyed by people giving me unwanted advice left right and centre. Fiance's extended family had
so many comments when I first got Scottie. ..."shouldn't he be potty trained by now?" (after 1 month of having him)..."you should cut his hair, it's too long". It wasn't a one-time comment. It was on a weekly basis!
It was
so annoying! I had to bite my tongue, smile, and not tell his aunt.....well, a dog's bladder is a lot smaller than a child. Even children take a long time to be potty train. One month!? Please. And I don't tell you when to cut your son's hair, don't tell me when to cut my dog's hair. lol...
Anyway. I had to learn the hard way that the best solution is just to smile, ignore, and change the subject. It actually works wonders for everything else too, not just dog related stuff!
