Housebreaking a puppy.

[Ms Erica Phoenix]

I'm sure miss Erica has extra shoes she could lend out....Except those leapord skin ones...She seems kinda partial to that set.
I know I had a set of boots that a Lab puppy couldn't resist tearing out the insoles.
I put a half cup of pepper inside them, and that cured him for life.

Do you hear that Perdita? Next time Auntie Erica catches you licking her heels, you're in trouble! Unless you're paying for the privilege, keep your mouth off my shoooooos!!
"Extra shoes"? I am not familiar with this concept. In order to have EXTRA, one first has to have enough....

Well the puppy is great! But my glasses didn't make it.

And she got into a bag of kibble a while back. Consumed an entire pound of kibble. She looked like someone had stuffed a balloon up her ass and inflated it. So funny. But much poop to clean up in the days after. Lol.

Ha ha, she must be part beagle. Those things will eat themselves to death.
I hope it wasn't her that wrecked your computer too.

anything by cesar milan is very very good when it comes to understanding the psychology of dog/human interactions

i remember on one of his shows him commenting on an owner's lack of walking his dog, 'birds fly... fish swim... dogs walk...'

those words are so true. a dog that doesn't get walked several times a day (and i mean long walks) becomes a neurotic dog, and a neurotic dog is impossible to train and control

I agree! She gets plenty of exercise. It's the teething thing mostly. Aside from normal puppy antics, she's pretty good. A pretty laid back happy pup. I have a dog trainer coming every two weeks. He has a pretty good philosophy on dogs and I've learned a lot about them that I never knew. And the crate training is key.
