My last dog hated winter. I wouldn’t go outside with him, I’d just open the door, he’d go outside for 2 minutes, and then come back. No fooling around and we never had to worry about him eating things he shouldn’t have.
This puppy is the polar opposite and I really hate it. I can’t stand waking up in the dark, going outside in the snow, and having to freeze my ass off while he does everything except go to the bathroom.
I bundle up and take him on long outings multiple times a week. I’m talking about the multiple potty trips we have to take. I hate them.
He can’t go out without a leash because he refuses to learn to leave mulch & acorns and sticks alone and if he gets one, he will not drop it on command. We are training this, and he’s doing very good with indoor items/toys so I know it’s only a matter of time before he finally listens with the exciting outside stuff.
