I was reading about dogs that are left in areas with their "mess" for long periods of time and how after a while, they just don't care and become "untrainable". This is a concern because some of the dogs we've looked at and were considering were four or five months old and had been cooped up in pet shops for a month or more...and I know pet shops try, but it's kind of hard to stay on top of cleaning 15+ dogs' cages.
Does anyone know if they can be house trained? Ever? If there are any certain tricks that can be use to house break them??
