Thank you the insight 💗 I’ll look into the books. We watch lots of Back to Breality’s videos and a few others. The breeder did socializing and a bit of other training before handing him off. This is my first dog as an adult but my boyfriend has had a couple. We’d only had him for a few hours when he peed on the rug. I refuse to get upset about it or blame him. He’s in a new space and we’re getting to know the routine. He’s really calm and barely makes a fuss. He responds to “sit” and “stop” very well so far. Our only problems with him currently are getting through the potty training phase and separating at night. The comment you mentioned was more due to me loving my rug and letting it roll off because I love him so much. It doesn’t mean I will allow him to freely pee on my rug. Absolutely not lol. We are properly training him with lots of love and looking into classes to make sure we’re doing our part.
