HI HERE ARE SOME DOG HALP *** SORRY HE IS SO GODDAMN DIRTY ***

Boo Sitting (March 15-19th) 15th: Afternoon/PM 16th: AM/Afternoon/PM 17th: AM/PM 18th: AM/PM 19th: AM/PM

COMMANDS:

  • If you aren't firm in your commands, he will not listen to you - Say them sharply and semi-loudly
  • Do not hit Boo to reprimand him
  • Reprimand ("HEY", not "NO", I messed that up when he was learning)
  • Can sit ("SIT")
  • Can lay down ("DOWN")
  • Can stay ("STAY", generally for about 30 seconds)
  • Can shake ("SHAKE", put your hand out while he's sitting)
  • Can stand up ("UP", put your hand at your eye level and up while he's sitting)

FOOD:

  • 1.25 cups 2x/day
  • No more than 5 smallish treats
  • No more than 1 rawhide/regular bone/day
  • Unlimited water
  • Boo gets weird around treats - he will move away from your petting and focus on the treat. I swear he still likes you.
  • DO NOT indulge his begging for food. Absolutely no human food

TOYS:

  • Large & rubber is preferred
  • Nothing fuzzy (he will rip it apart and destroy it, leaving a mess and possible choking hazard)
  • Nothing small that he can choke on
  • DO NOT let him have a bone/toy in his kennel at night or alone

WALKING:

  • ALWAYS on leash, never leash free unless inside with doors closed
  • Always wears harness, never just collar
  • Bring pink rubber thing with you, has poop bags
  • Boo may bark/get excited/pull & be rowdy around other dogs - He will never bite/hurt them, but may get really excited
  • Hold him close while crossing streets
  • Walk him 3x/day (short bathroom walks) AM/AFTERNOON/PM on week-ends
  • Walk him 2x/day (short bathroom walks) AM/PM on week-days
  • Make sure Boo is at my apartment on the week-days by 1pm, and he'll be gone on a walk until, at the latest, 6pm
  • Hang up his leash on the front pegs where you found it so the dog walker can find the leash

DRIVING:

  • Boo will leave fur and drool, sorry ;_;
  • He gets kinda nervous so he may try to crawl in the front seat if he's in the back
  • If he's in the front, he may try to lay on you - feel free to push him off or say "HEY"

BATHROOM:

  • Bring pink baggies
  • He starts running back and forth when he's about to poop, pls laugh at him
  • He generally poops 2x/day, definitely in the AM, sometimes afternoon/PM for the other
  • Needs to go outside 3x/day, more (for safety) if he's meeting people/new dogs (he gets excited)

HANGING OUT WITH/SLEEPING/LEAVING BOO:

  • When Boo is left alone at my apartment, close my door and his kennel
  • DO NOT leave Boo alone anywhere but my apartment
  • When Boo is sleeping at my apartment, lock him in his kennel
  • When Boo is sleeping at your apartment, close your bathroom and room door, and expect pacing/possible cuddles. Make sure anything he could chew on/eat/destroy/choke on is put away
  • Feel free to not indulge Boo when he's being needy. Ignore, and if being rude, say "HEY"
  • If he acts especially crazy, it may mean he needs to go to the bathroom really badly
  • Boo will try to go on your furniture - couches, beds. If you don't want him to, push him off and say "HEY"
  • Boo isn't a huge barker, but do not encourage barking if it happens

THANKS ILY I HOPE THIS ALL MAKES SENSE PLS PET HIM SOMETIMES <3
