Genuine Advice Needed On Raising A Pup.

[AverageJoe 1]

I've recently left the army and got myself a first cross border patterdale bitch pup 6 weeks ago(she's about 15-16 weeks old now). As I've no neee to get a job yet as I am still employed until January 28th and paid until February 25th.i have a lot of time on my hands and spend a lot of time training and walking(not too far as I heard it's possible to damage bones etc).

I'm having no trouble with her and she's coming along far far better than I thought.

My only concern is am I spending too much time around her so that when I eventually do get a job she suffers from separation issues?

I'm not with the dog 24/7 or anything as i do have other things on and my family says she was fine without me when I went on a week long course 8 hours a day.

I just wouldn't want to cause any problems by getting her too attached.

Thanks. Joe.

What do you mean? Are you you suggesting I pick up the pup and cradle it like a baby?

I've posted on here for honest advice because I have a lot of time on my hands and I put quite a bbt of time into training her since the times available to me.

grow up and stop spending your time attempting to irritate other people.

just because I've got a lot of time and use it to train the dog doesn't mean I spend my nights cradling the dog you absolute waste of oxygen.

Youre not doing anything wrong joe, god forbid if your pup was locked up in a kennel for 24 hours a day and never seeing anybody at this age,, that would be ten times worse. Nothing wrong with growing a bond with your pup. The vital hours you spend with the youngun now will pay off, atb stripes.

Yes it was a joke.I am guessing you are not the sharpest pencil in the box by your aggressive language so I will explain. Raising something is to lift it off the ground.Hence the joke. Pups are reared not raised unless you are trying to sound American in which case you are a twat..
