I have worked very hard training Buddy. It finally paid off. He has complete run of my condo while I am at work. He is wonderful, now, and never touches a thing. He gets walked on a leash but if I had a yard he would never be out there alone. Other animals, digging under a fence and theft I would be concerned about. Good luck with you future pup. Please keep him/her safe indoors unless you are with him/her.
