Actually work is usually 8 hours + travel time per day. Say you have 2 hours at the gym there's 12 hours gone (working with 1 hour to travel to and from work) Then you'll need around another 1-2 hours for training alone, another hour for an adult dog for exercise (going for walks etc) There's 15 hours gone. That leaves you with 9 hours to eat, sleep, do your housework and chill out in front of the tv... There's also those incidental things that you may want to do that you'll need to adjust for.
I know what hours I work thanks 
. I don't watch tv or many of these other trivialities, so no time wasted there.
Yep, people do suck, but they are a necessity. Do you live alone? If not then the people who live with you (even though they may be family to) are your friends. You still have a natural requirement to interact with other people
I hope you also add practical application of what you have learnt in there
That's the idea. Beleive me I wouldn't be here if I wasn't serious about raising a dog.
What about while it's a pup? Why would you put a door in between your fence and the walkway so your neighbour can just walk into your yard? That would make it more dangerous wouldn't it?
The yard is fenced off from the front, I said it would be difficult drawing a diagram with words
Bull! Sorry mate, but that is a crock. Maybe if you'd said 60% it'd be more believable. I can weightlift with ease and have been able to for at least 10 years. I can't lift the weight I could 10 years ago now, but I can still do it... Oh, and BTW, because exercise produces endorphins you're far less likely to have feelings of suicide unless you have gone suddenly from large amounts of exercise to none, and then it would be relatively easy to get back to the gym
DUDE, Australia has one of the largest obesity problems in the world (and it's getting worse), and those who arn't obese or overweight don't nessicarily go to the gym either. Weightlifting, health and fitness is EVERYTHING to me, I know these things. And it's not %60 either, the world population is lazy as ****.
That depends on how far you are taking it, but ok then. What about the rest of your life? Boy/Girlfriend when you get one etc... What happens then?
Yeah.. what does happen? I'm not interested in anyone, like I said another "friend" hanging off me like a leech and cramping my style is the last thing I need or want.
Yep, you're so sold on the idea that you are only listening to part of what we are saying or asking so you can turn it around to work for you.
well excuse me but **** YOU.
Yes I do anything to ensure that my little boy is happy, healthy, well socialised, friendly (so I don't add to the dog bite pandemic), very well trained and an all around brilliant addition to canine society. I gave up friends, tv and my exercise regime (well altered drastically) to suit his needs. I gave up my saturdays and sundays for him - so he can go to the dog club and so he can have a morning at the park or the beach (on his own because I don't like dog parks or dog beaches, just a personal preference) and so on. It is not just a commitment, the dog is your responsibility. How he or she behaves reflects on you and his or her behavior will ONLY be a result of the time and effort you put in to effective training.
And you are the only one who can do anything to impact the relationship you have with your dog. We are just people on the other end of the computer with no way of knowing if you're telling the truth, lying or just having some fun with us.
What I have learnt and know will also impact how I raise the dog.
Yes you can do it. If you show the dog as much commitment as you do your body....
