[quote=Anonymous][quote]I pretty much agree with this. We hired a dog walker to come 2-3 times a week for the first 6 weeks while our dog was getting used to living in a home (she had been a street dog) and to crate training. She will now willingly go into her crate when it is time to leave, and the neighbors report they don't hear a peep out of her. She gets a long walk as soon as she gets home and spends a lot of time playing in our yard. Did we lie and tell the nervous nellies from the rescue that we would have a dog walker all the time? Yes. Sadly, you have to tell some fibs to get past their crazy requirements. Honestly, if we thought we needed the walker to keep our dog happy, we'd keep doing it - but we don't.[/quote]

We should have thought about lying. We could not find any shelters that were willing to adopt out a puppy unless one person was home all day. We went through a breeder and hired a dog walker to come in twice a day until he was older. It worked great and I'm glad we got a puppy. [/quote]
