Of course, before you can walk him at all, you will need to train him to walk on a leash, which is a project in itself. For instance, a 3-month-old puppy will need to empty his bladder every three hours! And yes, that does include the middle of the night! Before you adopt a puppy, ask yourself if you are available to walk your pet several times throughout the day, and if you have the patience and commitment to wake up and take him out several times throughout the night. Here's a good rule of thumb to consider: a puppy can hold his bladder just one hour for every month they've been alive. Once a puppy soils the carpeting, it becomes much more difficult to train them out of that behavior. The key to successful housebreaking is consistency preventing "accidents" is key. Remember, a puppy requires constant attention.

So, I am calling on YOU, our faithful LBWF family, because our small team may be mighty, but it's Thousands of animals die in California shelters each week. I am beside myself with grief and frustration, that I have not been able to dedicate the time necessary to continue with this fight, because I've been deep in the trenches of California's pet overpopulation crisis. We work to show that the problem is not with the dog, but rather the "owner". They passed one of the most dangerous, life-threatening breed ban legislations we've seen, despite the positive press and hard work myself and others have put in. States across America are considering voting like Montreal.

I have been fighting on behalf of bully breeds since the early 2000's.
