I feel like my dog is taking over my life (just a bit of ranting, maybe you have advise?)
I've made some post earlier about my pup peeing in the house and things like that...well, good news is, we managed to make some progress, sometimes he won't pee inside for the whole day or two, yay...but there is much more actually...It feels like my dog is taking over my life...perhaps I made a mistake by choosing such a energetic breed like labrador. When we brought him home, yeah, I did know that there will be stressful days and that I will need patience but now I just feel hopeless. I do agree on a saying that "there are no bad dogs, just bad owners" and yeah, I believe Im not the best owner, but I try my best. I train him, take him for walks, play with him, show him affection but it seems like I did something wrong since my dog won't listen to me when he gets so hyper-active. He is still very young, only 6 months old, I shouldn't expect much from him, but I have fear that he will always be like this... When I don't see him, I always have ideas like "is he peeing?" "is he chewing wires?" "is he taking things from the table?" and stuff like that... I have to be worried about him 24/7...Does this labrador madness ever ease? Will I ever be able to relax when I am home? :/ And please don't blame me for saying things like that I LOVE MY DOG AND IM VERY ATACHED TO HIM. But sometimes I doubt if he loves me :/
