The worst experience ever! I was very clear in my inquiries about why I was looking for a slightly older dog with basic potty and general obedience training. The answers I received indicated that I was making a good choice. So so so wrong—- even after a week of working with her, the dog has been howling incessantly and my nerves are shot. She clearly has not been socialized beyond what I now find out to be her farm- and not living inside with her family. I haven't slept the entire week and it has been terrible listening to this animals suffering despite all best efforts at play and distractions. She tears as soon as she sees me even now. Plus, she bit me in an entirely unprovoked incident. I suspect this was a backyard breeder who took advantage of a pet lover. Backyard breeders who fo not make their their dogs are properly socialized for their developmental stage (mine is 15 months) are no better than puppy . If Pawrade really cares, this should never have happened.
