All valid questions.

Believe me, I have considered everything.


I would *love* to be able to get a 1-on-1 trainer.

But I am mad poor--and getting this dog was a poor financial decision, regardless of her personality/temperment--I couldn't afford her (really) and I can barely afford to keep her.

I should have waited, but I didn't and now I cannot afford what it would take to fix it.

It's frustrating to me and not good for her.

I blew it.



Next question, am I sure this is the right dog for me?

No, I'm not.

I am in love with her, and when she's a sweetheart, I get a glimpse of the relationship we could have one day, but I'm actually pretty convinced that she really needs an experienced Sch handler.

I'm also starting to think that the breeder knew this and sold this pup to me anyway.

I'm not happy about that, but again, I made this bed.
