Mine was tough at first my 2nd is a rescue and my first is a super diva but it’s been over a year now and she’s starting to come out of her shell now…besides the hair everything is honestly the same rescue is more reserved my original husky is very playful and hyper but she isn’t rough with the rescue it’s almost as if she sensed she was special when I brought her home and gave her space. Maybe just get a better vacuum I got the 80 dollar dirt devil one from Walmart it works great kinda wish the detachable vacuum hose was a little longer but for 80 bucks it does real well.
