May contain some rambling and noob-like remarks >>>
Inspite of my repeated warnings to my brother that a dog isn't just for Christmas (summer holidays) etc etc for life, guess what turned up today?
So we need some free advice from you friendly lot! Yes, instead of researching it and thinking it through my brother got the puppy anyway. My parents don't care either way - work afternoon to night - and are willing to cough up for it!. How do we toilet train a puppy? Is it too early to think about obedience*? And how do we stop the house smelling like a pet shop? lol. The only thing my brother thought about is insurance And does it matter we also have two guinea pigs?
*Next door have two dogs several months old now and do nothing but bark at passers-by all day and get shouted at by the owners. Yes those are the same weed-smokers (the people, not the dogs). Don't want ours to be like that!
Thank you in advance and pictures to come later!
