Hi everyone posting on reddit for the very first time and I already know I will be getting a lot of hate for this so let's start My Indie puppy is about 9-10 months old we adopted him when I gave up the idea of ever having a dog because everyone in my family is working a obviously the dog would have to be alone for atleast 5-6 hours because of which I gave up the idea but then suddenly my cousin brother who already has a Indian splitz rescued a puppy who was alone outside our house in a cold night.he took care of him for some days and then he came to us ask my mum if she knows someone who wants to adopt a dog my mother gave them the contact a person who runs a dog shelter when me and my sister met that tiny little puppy who was super in super bite mode we fell for him a bit my sister asked my cousin's mother if we could keep the puppy for 2 days she agreed and in those 2 days me and my sister fell in love with him we some how ignoring the fact of how we lived somehow convinced our parents to keep him or atleast foster him as long as we can my sister was having holiday because of which she took care of him during the 2 days but after 2 days we couldn't give him back and even my cousin was relieved because now they have to take care of him.I asked a friend of mine(who obviously has a dog)for some tips on how can I leave my puppy alone he told me he used to leash his puppy until she learned not to create distruction when left alone I did the same thing harnessd him because leash could be a choking hazard trained him a bit to not to panic when left alone in the harness everything went smoothly after that until one day he somehow got out of the harness and waited for someone to come home without creating any distruction when we saw everything was at its place when we were home we decided to let him free when no one is at home everything was ok for a few days but then suddenly when he left him alone at night for a few hours he broke our door we didn't scoled him for that because it looked like he did that so that he could go outside to per(their was pee near the door) after that day he started distroying things when left alone we just put those things away so he couldn't do it again but one day he literally broke the side lining of our net door(we have 2 door) which was the breaking point for my mum and she told us to harness him again we did that everything was alright for a few days but then just yesterday when I was trying to convince my dad to set free when we were not at home before going to work he scratched the mattress which ruined my plan and I had to shorten the leash of his harness so he doesn't do it again today he literally tore the mattress when left alone and guess what the mattress is damn expensive and now my mother is saying we have to leave him outside when no one is at home. It is winter in Delhi(India) because of which it is something which I can do for now but I am scared what will I do when April comes.after all the things I thought I should rehome him but right now his adolescent age is going on rehoming him will be tough and to be honest living without him feels like hell. And before everyone says I am selfish because I didnt gave him to someone who could take better care of him listen I know I am foolish but not selfish regarding him I myself was against the idea of chaining him because of which I gave him to someone through someone else the shelter and NGOs gave us no answers regarding him(because for some reason people think that indies are inferior as compared to other dog breeds) coming back to the story he somehow came back to us at night barking outside our house to let him in and when I returned him to my cousin his family just left him outside knowing other dogs might attack after seeing he is a dog not belonging to their region I literally had to request them to get him back from wherever they left him and then you know what happened. Sorry for the long post wanted to went somewhere about what's going in my life and I already know I did many stupid things but a little bit of your suggestion would help.
