Thanx for the explanation, but, i still disagree with your breeder, that is the lazy way out, not cutting YOU down, but HER!
many of us settle the issue by working with our dogs so they can be an integral part of the family and do learn that nighttime is sleepy time, by working with them.
in the garage, they are ignored, alone or with other dogs, they are away from their humans.
i did not say you were mistreating, i am perturbed by the suposed good advice you got.
that is ok, not seen is not heard right?
this to the breeder.
i disagree highly with the way that was handled by her.
a good breeder gives good advice to help you work thru the problems, they do not have you remove them altogether from the situation and the human pack.
i highly disagree, respectfully, not meant to cut you down, but, i also see to many people taking the easy way out of situations, than once said pup turns into the obnoxious teenager, believe me it is coming, i would love to know what advice is given for that.
UGGGGGGGHHHHH
