[quote=Anonymous]Our 10 week old medium-breed puppy needed to be taken out to pee every 4 hours day or night, and he needed training/companionship/multiple short walks during the day. At that age, when they're too young to have all their vaccines to meet other dogs or go into crowds, the socialization (no nipping on humans, no peeing in the house, no chewing on chair legs, sit, stay, down, etc) depends on the immediate caretaker. The dog will have fewer problems later on if it spends as much time as possible with its human. This means it's rather difficult for a two-working parent household. People can, and do, buy puppies, take a few days off work, then hire a dog walker. I think that's cruel. [/quote]
