Story
Zeus is an amazing dog, however due to trauma from previous owners I assume he hates hardwood floors. We have recently moved to a home that is nothing but hardwood and he refuses to leave his bed unless he is running to the door to go outside to pee and poop. Have tried to break him of this but with us having a young baby it is hard to give him the time he needs to be broken of these habits. Outside of that he is a very easy going dog. I’ve never heard him bark, he is great with other dogs and people and is a sweet heart. I just don’t think it’s fair to him to live this way and not be given the time he deserves
