I don't know if this is the proper area, so Moderators, please feel free to move as you see fit.
I work with a young girl that got her pup about the same time I got Jackson. Her dog is an Allaunt (a pitbull/mastiff crossbreed) and is about 4 months old....we have talked a lot about our pups, training, etc...She and her BF decided they didn't need to kennel this dog anymore and just cordoned off an area in their foyer with baby gates, well the dog destroyed all the window blinds. She thought it was funny...not my blinds, but still...I suggested she might want to kennel the dog when they are not home but "I feel so bad when he has to stay in that crate". Anyway she was telling me about some small behavioral problems she is having and asked why I was having such good luck with Jackson...told her I worked with him everyday and that everything we did was a learning experience...she said "I'm just to tired when I come home to work with him."
I wanted to smack her. That poor dog is going to end up being about 120-130 pounds and will probably end up in a pound or rescue because she couldn't control him...I do not understand why people get a dog and won't work with them...sure its hard work, but so worth it and the dog NEEDS that training.
Anyway, just venting.
