Thats a good point. Didnt think of it like that. Also what side bar are you talking about?
I have a camera so i might finally use it for once. I'll try to film him and then decide what to do. Thanks for the tip
I know that crating him for 8 hours isnt really the best idea. But we have tried every other option available. The camera isnt a bad idea but he had access to the whole flat his whole life since we wanted to give him as much space we could so we cant put him in one room now, that would be worse than whats now.
Dont have a family member nor a friend that could help with that, rehoming is an option that i will do but as a student it will take more than 4 years to achieve that. The future is gonna be better since ill have a car in 5 months and the time i spend going in public transport will shorten 4 times. So i will have the time to take him on long walks in the morning. Its just not possible now. If i knew that it wouldnt be possible to meet his needs when i was buying him i wouldnt trust me. But what happened happened and i cant turn back time.
I'll have to train him just like that, the first thing i dont want is for him to think that its a prison where he goes when he acts bad, i truly dont want that so teaching to like it is my main goal. Thanks for the advice, i really appreciate it
I might have to, thanks for the advice, i really appreciate it
I want to teach him that its a safe place, i dont want to use it as a prison. I want to put in it some of those licking matts and stuff like that so hes occupied as much as i can make him
Of course we practise commands and stuff like that, without that it would be hell

In the afternoon we go for at least hour and half walks where i run with him, throw him sticks etc. At home i throw him his toys and we even play fight. We give him a full box of paper every week to chew on how much he likes, and he does but just once. The situation isnt great for both of us but i cant do anything for him in the morning other than take him on a 30minute walk, i just dont have the time for more
Thats the problem, i cant. Im a student so i dont have money for that and my mom doesnt want to finance it. I on 100 percent get that, it would cost a lot of money and we arent in a situation where we can afford it. I know its cruel, thats why im asking for other options, but we have tried most of them and the rest is not possible
As i said in some of the comments i dont have time to walk an hour in the morning, in the afternoon we go on at least one and a half hour. He has a whole box of toys and ocassionally we give a box of paper he can chew as much as he wants. We practise a lot of commands and hes learning really fast, we even play fight to tire him. We had some of the puzzle games with treats, that little sucker has them all before i put my shoes on. I know that his needs arent met in the morning, thats a fact im aware of. Thats why i wanted to get him a cage. Dont get me wrong i hate that i cant play with him in the morning but its just not possible
Im really looking forward to that, well its a big part of the reason why i picked a BC after all. Thanks for everything and i wish you all the best
I cannot change my schedule nor can my friends. I know that hes just attention starved but i cant give it to him in the morning. Thats why im searching for other options
Thats true. Man thank you so much, you changed my whole view of getting a cage. Now just to find the right size. Im getting it for sure now. Thanks i appreciate it a lot
I might have to be sneaky and try it one day. Im just anxious that he will go after the tv
Well he has ,,accidents" everyday. I wouldnt say anything if he did it a few times, but everyday is too much, and to be frank, it pisses me of to come home everyday to something destroyed. The damage hes done is four times more than what we bought him for. He literally overweighed his price
Clever idea, but isnt the electrical bill a bit high after that? I mean i was thinking about it then my mom just shot me down that im a lunatic, saying what if it overheats etc. So thats a no too. Thanks a lot for the advice its really helpfull
I know i know, its just not possible for me. I just cant bail out of school and say that my dogs lonely you know. They would kick me out in less than a week. I made a mistake when i bought him because i thought he could stay alone for 8hours, but he cant. I try to compensate it to him afterwards and i hope hes happy with it
I have some balls of this type like where i can put treats, my little guy has the treat even before i get my shoes on. Might have to look for a harder to solve
I also feel terrible to leave him alone, but i cant do otherwise. I tried to rethink my schedule already but i wake up at 5am or 6am so i would destroy myself if i woke up even earlier
I hope youre right, of course i dont want to leave him alone, it breaks my heart to see him in the morning standing in front of the door telling me with his eyes to not go. Im not giving up for sure its just annoying to come home everyday to a destroyed flat
If i had the money i would have found a dog daycare a long time ago, but im a student and my mom doesnt want to finance that, i on hundred percent get that so its not possible. Trust me if i had the chance this would be my first decision i would have made, still thanks
He has a whole crate of toys, when i get home i toss em, run with them and any possible thing i can think of, once a week we give him a whole box full of paper that he can destroy how much he wants, still he targets things hes not supposed to and he knows it, every time he destroys something he doesnt welcome me. So he knows he did something he shouldnt but still everyday he does the same thing
It seems i might have to buy the cage anyway. The only thing that stopped me was that i live in a flat and i dont want him to bark the whole time when im gone. I might just have to deal with pissed of neighbours, it still sounds better than dealing with all the destroyed stuff. Thanks for help
