  I have had many puppies, everyone of them was unplanned meaning, friends or family member I was shopping with would say ohhhhh a pet shop, lets go in and see the puppies, I would be the one that came home with one. Knowing having a dog would be a commitment. Although they were all unplanned each one was like the wedding vow to me.
 
 To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.
 
 
 Not all of my puppies were perfect, no issues, I seeked help for what I could not train out of a dog myself. I would never give up on a dog that had issues, dogs are a lifetime commitment. My pups and I were a package deal, love me, love my dog. If some man told me to decide either the dogs does or I go, I would open the door and wish him good luck, it would be obvious he didn't love me enough to work with me to help resolve the issue.
 
 
 
 If you have given up on this baby and re-home him, do not ever get another dog. Dogs are like toddlers, they have to be taught what is right, what is wrong and that takes time and a lot of patience. I will say your pup does have a bad issue, but it is fixable, it takes time and commitment on your part. Having him crate trained and crate him when you have visitors would have resolved the issue you just had, or block him off in a room where he can see you and visitors but cannot get to the bathroom. There are many things that could have been done to avoid this last fiasco. I don't blame the dog, I blame the owner for not taking proper precautions knowing how the dog is.
