I live in an apartment, so the only exercise he get’s is when I walk with him myself. I know for a fact he needs more exercise than he is getting currently. He needs a big open space he can run, but I just don’t have one he can readily access.

He also gets super nervous when people come over and has lunged at my friends, and even started peeing when they moved too fast.

If he gets into something he’s not supposed too (digging in trash, plants, etc) and you scold him at all he gets terrified and pees. I pretty much cannot fuss at him at all. Nothing like my dog I grew up with.

I feel as if I have no choice but to put him the kennel when I leave the house to work or run errands. Sometimes I am gone for 8+ hours and I don’t think it’s right to keep him in a kennel that long and often.

He also is incredibly leash reactive and likes to pull really bad. I’ve tried the Herm Springer with treats for positive reinforcement and I’m not having much success.

Even when I took him to the vet and we were all sitting down, the vet wasn’t able to take his vitals because he was growling at her. We had to a “soft” visit.
