“If you want a well behaved little dog do not leave it alone at home, take it with you everywhere.”
That doesn’t work so well with a German Shepherd from East German blood lines. I spent two semesters taking him to a major university so he’d be socialized and not chase skate boarders or golf carts. “You are an evil spy trying to kill mom and I must kill you!” I worked so hard, but the dog is too darn smart- cute, tiny Asian girl is no threat (sigh, yawn)...goth guy, “I kill you now!” I decided he’s a barometer for evil intentions. My professional trainer gave up on him because he couldn’t train “save mom” out of him. The trainer could walk him on the Las Vegas Strip. Mom can’t walk him in the cul de sack. I love him and have signage.
My dog fit in a small Bean bag.
