I was not sure where to post this, so since it is a "caregiver" issue in a way, I figured here. Lately I noticed sooo many posts about people getting doggies.
My parents NEVER had a dog, they were NOT animal people, my mom did dog bites for Allstate as a claims adjuster, etc. Suddenly they realize my mom could use a dog It can keep my mom company and my dad can have someone to play ball with.
My dad's concern is his hardwood floors and he does not want the dog pottying all around the house (he is so anal about the house, although no one comes into it). I am getting mixed responses from people, so here is my question:
Has anyone gotten a dog already potty trained or sent the dog out for
potty training?
If they get one, they want to get one from a shelter instead of a breeder, not even sure what kind of dog yet. They want a smallish dog that is friendly, won't tear the house apart, etc.
Thank you
