Hi everyone, <\/p>

I've got a 5-month-old Border Collie. She's our first dog. The behaviourist is telling us she needs at least an hour's walk every day, but our lifestyle just doesn't allow for that! Is it really necessary? Would half an hour be enough?<\/p>

Another question that might sound silly or even a bit out of place... but what about the hygiene side of things when you have a dog? They don't always smell the best (any tips?), and the house gets so messy with her coming in and out... Am I just being a total neat freak? Is this normal? Surely I'm not the only one who wants a clean home even with a dog around??? Sorry for all these questions, but we're seriously doubting whether we should keep her or not... we just don't feel like we're up to it.<\/p>

    Half an hour a day for your dog? For a 5-month-old Border Collie? You’ve got to be joking. (And I’m certainly not laughing).
