Dogs deserve to be treated no differently than me or you. That means if they got to go...they got to go...and they shouldn't have to wait for their owner to get home from work. And they shouldn't have to deal with the smelly doggy potty pads. However, this doesn't mean we can expect them to behave like you or me. Dogs are animals. Each pup is different and they are full of their individual personality. I think it's important that pets are not let unattended and always have a companion to engage with them. Dogs get bored too! I will keep them active and occupied. (And ensure they are outside when they gotta go!) I love caring for animals and look forward to getting to know your pup!
