Ha, ha!! That made me laugh out loud!!! And put it into perspective too!! Thank you! Yes, I am very grateful she uses the pads and is not going all over the floors!! Maggie is a sweetie and has stolen our hearts, so we will keep encouraging her and just wait until she is ready!! Thanks so much...

So I have removed one of the pads and just have the one left in the kitchen and then by the door where she goes out to the garden. We have just been outside playing fetch for a while, she comes in and pees on the pad inside by the door!! The door is also wide open!!! When she pees outside she...

uh oh! I think you may have answered the question I was about to ask. We are struggling with the toilet training. We live open plan so have sectioned off half the lounge/diner and our pup has access to kitchen, utilities, and dining room, so we can keep a better eye on her and as a family, this...

Ok thanks for that! I didn't know that at all. I have read so many articles about giving them a kong & peanut butter! I will check the ingredients! Thanks!

We have a 10 week old puppy and have had her for 3 weeks, so we are just a week ahead of you! I think 4 hours to leave your puppy alone is quite a long time. I also work 4 hours a day (8-12) and I try and get home about 10ish to let her out, play for a bit and then she goes back until I am home...

Yes, am hoping it's the right approach. She has all her toys in this area of the house anyway, so hopefully its not going to be a massive shock. She is only being separated from the sofa - TV, area of the lounge, but this is just when we are busy. Otherwise she's often on there with one of us...

We have had our pup Maggie, for 3 weeks. After some advice on here we have got a playpen for her to stay in for those times when we are in the house and can't supervise her, or for when we just nip out for 5-10 mins, so she doesn't always have to go in her crate. I think it will also be useful...

Joanne F Very useful and supportive advice. Thank you!:)

Judy Yes we have discovered the double wee!! Def a trait lof our young pup! We are on to that one now!!! :)

I feel from your comments above I need to clarify her crate schedule. She wakes at 6am, plays, wees and has breakfast and then goes for a walk for 15 mins. She HAS TO go in her crate at 8am as I go to work. On a Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday she is in there until 9.30 when I come home and let...

Thank you all for your advice. Living where we do overseas and not having access to any professional training places worries me but the responses on here have reassured me we are doing the right thing and going in the right direction! Things have been better this week and Maggie has been less...

Just to be clarify, the time out crate is not her sleeping crate at all. It is a much larger, empty crate that we have had from many years ago which is just sitting at the bottom of the stairs. Should we stop using this as our time out place. We live open plan, so we don't really have anywhere...

thanks so much for your reply. What you have said about the lead has really resonated with me, as I do feel we have pushed her into it before she was ready. I will take a step back now and just try to get her comfortable with the leash and then sit on the doorstep for a while and see how she...

Hi Everyone, I am looking for some reassurance! We have a 9 week old puppy - Havanese/Shizu mix. We have had her for 2 weeks. We live in the Middle East, so have very little in the way of dog training support available to us here. We got Maggie from a home where the owner had the Mum...
