Sorry but I just would not put up with a dog with bad house manners. I mean, for the first year or so, when the dog is still maturing and settling is ok, but not a whole life time as the idea is the dogs make our lives easier, not more difficult. My ex husband had a guide who was a terrible scrounger indoors. I would not put up with that or constant chewing or messing in the house. That dog would go straight back. I would not want a dog who needed to be crated when my back was turned.

Some need to be watched at all times. I had one. I finally got her to behave after 2 years of testing her and finding I could not trust her. I loved my girl and decided she was worth on her house manners. Cathy & Pilot Dog, Tiny:
