Most of our dogs come from puppy mills. They have no idea what a home is, so it is like having a grown up puppy! Housebreaking is tough in the beginning until they get on a schedule. They can be very skittish to the point they are shut down and you can’t get anywhere near them. When the day comes that they go outside to use the potty for the first time or they let you pet them for the first time you know why you are doing this!
