    Running Out Of Ideas, Being Told I Should Return My Grey...

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    Posted

    Perhaps it is not the right time in your life to live with a dog but you could go and help out in a shelter. I did that in the time between moving from my parent's house and having a flat where I could keep a dog and a job that brought enough money for rent, car, food and dog.

    I learned many things about behaviourism, different breeds, working with difficult dogs and first aid.

    I was going to say this too....it is such a valuable thing to help out with the shelter dogs.

     

    And you didn't fail....many people return dogs. I was single and my first greyhound was a young male that was insecure and could not be alone...I returned him.

    I had a similar experience with my first greyhound. He was young and I was single and worked everyday. He was very unhappy...and ultimately so was I...I returned him. It took about a month or two before I was ready to try again. This time I got a 4 year old actually he was almost 5. He was perfect in every way....took him about a week to ease into home life and was my best friend and most perfect dog. Well Not really..he was stubborn and a piece of work in some ways. But perfect for me and my life.
