if you dont have time for a dog dont buy a dog

I’m gona wait until the back window downstairs in the shop is turned into a door into the garden out back so he can come to work with me.

That way he can get outside most of the day but I can still look after him properly.

Do you know about the drawbacks of having almost wolves? You will need to maintain your pack leadership incessantly to get them to behave well.

Personally I like them but they require you to be strong minded to keep them under proper control – you can allow them to perceive themselves to be superior to you or you will have endless problems. Very rewarding canines though 🙂

If you get one I would love to meet it. A bitch may be easier to train than a dog btw as you wont be in a power struggle to be the alpha male [of course your gf will have to stand up for herself if you have a bitch or the bitch will constantly be asserting her ranking over the gf]

Get in touch if you run into problems training them if you get them 😉 I have a lot of practise of working with dogs these days – have retrained several problem dogs as well as training puppies in the last 5 years.
