The best advice I received about dogs was, “Research your dog’s breed. Find out what they were bred to do. If you have a working dog, make sure he’s got work to do, otherwise, he will find his own work to do, and it may not line up with what you want them to do.”
I'll second that advice! As a pet sitter, I've seen a few situations where the owners didn't do proper research and it wasn't a 'good fit'. Thankfully, with a few adjustments on both sides of the equation, they managed to make it work.
Oh, and Tank is the perfect name for your boy!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I don't know how, but I somehow failed to respond to the replies on this post!
Anyway, it's wonderful when adjustments can be made. I find it sad when the owners have unrealistic expectations and the dogs get blamed.
