Story
We've had him since two weeks. We tried to train him without the leash and was doing amazing, but as he got older grew habits and wasn't behaving. Is a good puppy, but with time we didnt have patience or anything to go and train him properly. Ive have multiple dogs and were pure bred but he's different since he's a mutt and is a mixed breed. So he's not what were used to with the habitual things from a German shepherd or Siberian Huskies. He will let you know when he wants to use the bathroom, but he doesn't always use it. He tends to always wanna be outside but likes to be inside when its fitting to him. He's a bit vocal too but isnt aggressive. If you give him food and water, hell immediately finish it and you'll have to wait 10 minutes until he pesters you that he wants to go outside. He has bad habits like not beig trained without a leash, peeing/pooping in the house and eating wood, leaves, etc. anything he can chew on. Does know to Sit, lay down, paw, etc.
