    Who taught my dog how to do these things?..

    Yes, actually, very much so. ;) Though it is true she spends the afternoons in the yard.

    crate training

    Good advice. In my experience leaving water in the crate turns it into a swimming pool... of its own pee. :p

    Who taught my dog how to do these things?..

    I know my puppy isn't perfect. One of the most confusing things being her natural wariness of me being too close to her when she 'feels like it' (which makes it frustrating to bring her to the park, because I can never get her to come back with me). She also isn't very good at learning/obeying...

    Substitute for Pork Ribs/bones?

    Ehh...quick 'check'. Putting those bones in the 'oven' still count as being cooked right? *hehheh..heh..he* (nervous laughter)

    Substitute for Pork Ribs/bones?

    Before anyone gets mad, *shameful look*, let's just say I just did my research and found out it's a bad idea to give your dog ribs or cooked bones...:hail: I am, of course, not very proud of the fact that Wanta has gotten a few bones (rib/pork) as rewards. I'm not sure if it makes it any...

    Older Dog With a new puppy. Troubles

    I can testify to the 7-8 weeks old rule, not just for the dogs' benefit, but ours as well haha. My puppy was received at 6 weeks, and even that was kind of early. We had to work extra hard on bite-inhibition and whatnot, because she had not received such training for her littermates. So it's...

    My Puppy Harasses My Boyfriend

    Glad to hear it, and welcome to puppy parenting ;) Good luck, and remember to stick with NILIF. It's sometimes hard to stay disciplined because they can be -so cute- :doh:

    My Puppy Harasses My Boyfriend

    Crate-luvin is a must (lol) A crate should never be associated with punishment. over time, it becomes the puppy's 'home'. This then becomes really helpful during potty-training time (they dun like to soil their homes) :p Glad to hear you might be getting a 'breakthrough'. That's how it was...

    My Puppy Harasses My Boyfriend

    Sorry Kasey. Aiye...I kind of know how you feel .. >_> Unfortunately, I'm no expert, but I can tell you my take on the situation regardless "When ever I walk into the room, or he hears me open the door to the house he stops barking - I think he knows he shouldn't be barking but does it...

    Burking whining when left alone...bit long but please read

    ^In my experience, actually, it's really just sticking 'by the book' and putting 'faith' in you what you're doing. =P My situation was a little different, however. We did something a little bit unorthodox, we unlocked the crate (but put her in a confined area). We then lined puppy pads...

    Aggression?

    I'm going to just start shooting out possible ideas, but maybe it might just be children? Wanta used to be very antsy around children, it wasn't until she started getting a lot more positive experiences from the 'little people' that she started LOVING them :eek: Overall, I'd just ask if this...

    Puppies grow TOO fast!

    LOL, I wouldn't necessarily say it's depressing, but you're right about them growing SUPER fast. Should've taken more puppy pictures, that's for sure (when she was so tiny she could sleep on my tummy):D

    Lady at the Dog Park: *A Rant*

    Thx CP...though you're definitely being way too kind lol... I'm by no means even close to being 'knowledgeable', but yesterday I discovered a revelation: I really need to start putting NILF in practice. Giving Wanta all the food/attention/play/park she wanted has probably ended up making...

    Lady at the Dog Park: *A Rant*

    Thx CP. I enjoyed your post because you didn't try to sugarcoat anything, and just said it as it was. I need to adjust my expectations, but most importantly, figure out a -system-. I think perhaps, I need to start thinking of Wanta as a business-associate rather than a friend (or 'something'...

    Lady at the Dog Park: *A Rant*

    Excuse my verbosity, but I'm a bit confused. Why is it that when I flash the leash/harness, Wanta runs away from me even then? I thought the leash was associated with good things (dog park and walks). There is nothing bad about it, and I'm pretty sure she's intelligent enough at this point to...
