Thanks, Manny, for your reply.
Sophie will break and jump through windows WHILE I AM HOME.
She makes up her mind that she wants OUT, and there is no stopping
her.
I resigned from a full-time position away from home to work at home
so that I can be here with her. I do have to make deliveries and
purchase the items that I make the dog treats with but am only gone for two
hours at a time, max.
I have never learned more about dogs and behavior than I have with Pyrs and
have with any other dog. I never stop reading and learning about dog
behavior, health, and nutrition, so I do not feel that I am lacking in that
department.
It is almost as though her behavior is too primitive for this century of
living...if she were living in France she would probably be regarded as an
excellent family and working dog, but here in downtown West Palm Beach,
complete with being in the flight path of the airport (we live two miles due
east of Trump and he tried to move the airport to no avail), we have stimulus
that I do not believe this breed easily adapts to. I subscribe to the
Whole Dog Journal and recently, they did an article not only about feeding dogs
what they normally would eat in their normal environments, but also owning
breeds that were developed for the climates where we reside. Moving to
France, with my four years of high school French lessons, is out of the question
at this time...
Regards,
Lisa
