Yes, actually. They do a week long trial adoption where I can see if it works out or not. But even so, I really would like a dog right now, but I'm not sure I could have time for a pup. Which is why I would like to adopt a young, but housebroken, dog.
I just read some articles where in under a week the owner acclimated the dog to gunfire. He fed the dog, fired a round, and for the first two days the dog ran and hid. Day 3, the rog ran, stopped, went back to eat. Day 4, dog flinched, but kept eating, Day 5, same but got better. Im going to do the same. I'm going to get a metal/tin dish and bang it when its time to eat. Start slowly introducing noise with food, and associating noise with GOOD and POSITIVE encounters with the dog.
