And one more thing,he is very EXTREMELY lazy!All he does is sleep and lie down! Rarely gets up except to reach his food. I've try lifting him for walks and stuff, he just look away, gives out a loud sigh,then lie down again. |
If you insist on keeping this pup, please take him to the veterinarian (that should be an interesting trip) and have a full physical examination done on him. You might take a muzzle with you in case you need one.
While it is normal for a pup to sleep a lot, a pup with no interest in food at all or anything else may indeed have a condition that needs to be addressed. I would definitely spend money on the veterinarian before I put money into a training class, that way you can determine if a class is even necessary.
I'm very sorry that this person dumped a seemingly unwell (both mentally and physically) pup in your lap. Your "friend" the breeder has not been a very good friend at all if all you describe is as serious as it sounds.
People like you, who want to do right by a dog deserve to have a dog that is a pleasure to live with, not a constant worry, battle and huge liability.
