Lots of newspaper and patience.
Puppies will normally do their business right after waking up and again after a feed, so try to anticipate when they might need to go and get them outside quickly. When they are successful... lots of praise, when they mess up (Yar, how's that for a pun?) try not to make a big deal out of it... you don't want them to start 'fear toileting'.
Ha - don't get a small dog. They can't hold their potty very long. Medium mutts are the best. And older is better too - no puppies, a nice 2 year old will do ya fine! We always get a dog from the shelter.
Now THAT is either a very small dog or a giant sea slug!
Thanks Holly - can you guess which breed I was thinking of? (big clue is in my avatar
) - is that considered a "small dog" or a medium dog? - I did have a Boston terrier (9 years old) that I got from the Humane Society and he was a great dog but unfortunately he got ill and had to be taken to the vet. He died and this was back in the 90s. I haven't been able to get another dog since. I think I may wait until I am ready for retirement and see how things go then.
I think that's a great idea Neesy, dogs are such social creatures and do crave (and need) attention.Thanks Holly - can you guess which breed I was thinking of? (big clue is in my avatar
No sorry, there is a message saying "Cannot find server".
There are two pictures of two dogs and two babies that I copied and pasted. I can see them?????
This has been happening quite a bit, it's even possible that later on they'll show up for me--weirdness. It's something that Jordan is working on.
Pugs are great Neesy but they are considered small dogs. Mine is about 2 1/2 and most times he does well but I confine him to my room or his crate when I am not home. I am thinking about getting another one for companionship for taz (my baby) while I work.Thanks Holly - can you guess which breed I was thinking of? (big clue is in my avatar
