Hello All,
In November, my parents moved back to the D.R. (for good this time). For several years, we have been tossing the idea that they get a puppy (Rottie/ German Shepherd) that they can train to be with them 24/7, and accompany them to the finca on the weekends, ride in back of the truck, walk with my dad and the horses, etc... you know, a companion that can additionally provide them the protection inside the house while they sleep, etc... A member of the family.
FFWD 2 weeks ago. As much as they tried to keep it a secret, due to the fear that I was going to ream them out for it without preparation, they obtained 2 (TWO) Rottweiler Pups. My Brother ratted them out. Apparently the pups about 6-8 weeks old and are ****ing/pooping everywhere, biting at their feet, and they have been relegated to the marquesina or the garden.
Grnted, my parents are old-school dog owners which believe that a dog is there to bark and be locked in an enclosure for show, and that dogs aren't allowed around the house. They currently have 2 (two) German Shepherd Adults that's life is corralled and are not socially accustomed to people, other dogs, rarely get walked, etc.. Pretty much, theyr old-school mentality has tainted these dogs. They are open to the idea of these Rotties fate to be different. The pups are in the house, they walk around, go in, out, etc..
There is only so much potty training I can provide over the phone, etc.. I have asked them to go to the libreria and get the Cesar Millan book on puppy training, a few leashes, and toys for them to play with. I told them to set up an area that the pups can feel safe with a blanket, and water bowl, etc.. Hopefully they will get on the right track.
Anyone in the Zona Oriental area avaliable to provide some guidance?
