Was your old vet Dr. Butler??? I live near you. Can you tell me about the holistic vet you go to??? Thanks!!!

What are bellybands???

Yeah, its me again...my puppy has puppy issues...LOL. She doesn't like most treats anymore! When I got her to go potty outside last night she couldn't have cared less about the yummy treat I gave her and it used to be her favorite. I had to jump up and down wildly and give her lots of...

OMG! I did it! I toughed it out yesterday and by 9 pm last night my maltipoo went potty outside....she even did both!!! It was exhausting though taking her out every 30 minutes and then sticking her back in the crate. She cried just like a baby a few times. But after she went, she got 30...

I don't think young children should be allowed in the training class. I think my puppy would have done much better if the distraction of children wasn't there. It is up to the parents of these kids to "train" the kids at home with what they have learned in class. One thing that really...

socializing! Yeah! She is in doggie day camp as we speak and she loves it! She loves other dogs....even the most giant of dogs.....and she only weighs 3 or 4 pounds....LOL

She is in her crate at least nine hours a day. I am not able to come at lunch. She has only messed one time in her crate. When I get home, I take her outside and that is the only time she will pee. She will not poop. I tried the whole crate all day thing last Saturday with no success but...

Help!!! My puppy still won't go outside. Not only that, she will only do #1 or #2 on her puppy pad but not both. She will potty anywhere in the house. It doesn't matter where to her. Just to recap, she is a 4 month old maltipoo and I think I need to start totally from scratch. I also...

Oh goodness, I didn't mean to start a ruckus. Now I am confused on what to do.... Vy

Thanks Doberluv! I feel much better. I forget sometimes that she is just a puppy and I have to be patient and teach! I just don't how much longer my hands and arms can take it! :-) Vy

Okay, this is what I did this weekend. I started early in the morning with Gracie. I fed her and then outside we went. First we took a walk down the street and then I just let her sniff around the yard. We did this for 25 minutes and nothing, so we went inside and in the crate she went...

Thanks! I am going to try the Ian Dunbar article....I think that may work best for my pup.....

Herschel, Can you give some advice to someone who wants to crate train but works all day? In other posts, I mentioned that my little one does great in her crate all day but won't go outside, will go occasionally on the puppy pads and whenever she wants all over the house. She is very...

I have gotten such good advice from others on potty training that I thought I would introduce another issue I am having. You can tell I am a first time mom to a puppy. :) I am the master at raising cats! My sweet, pretty puppy who is 4 months old loves to play but during play time, she would...

someone might slap me for asking.. but since she is so small and you have medical problems why not have her just using a paper? I won't slap you. :-) This is a very good question. I do have puppy pads out, but like I said, it is hit or miss. How do I keep her going on the pad? Sometimes...

This is a great idea! I didn't know why I didn't think of it. She does excellent in her crate. It really baffles me because sometimes she has to hold it for a long time. Thanks for the advice!

She weighs 4 pounds and she is a Maltipoo! She is so sweet and loves everyone including all animals!

I must be fairly lucky then because she doesn't start waking me until 4:30 am.! I am so new to this so I am learning all kinds of new things. I just want to get her on the right track before she gets much older.

My poor puppy. She must be so confused. This is my first dog and I am just crazy about her but potty training is getting the best of us. She will not go outside but she will go inside on a puppy pad occasionally. The other times, she gives me no warning and out comes the poop or pee. LOL...
