My past saint I had when I lived in a small town and had little room, I would put my saint on a chain outside when I was gone to work. He would break everything until I got a chain that is used for rock climbing. He was well over 130pds. He could not break it. He had broken many chains b4 I...

Hi Saje, been awhile. Missy tends to go anywhere. I have been taking her outside and she goes one or twice and she seems to find more to do when she come in. Is it possible she is confused between carpet and grass? I would hope not. Also, my guess is that her bladder has not grown yet, but...

Ya, I know the feeling. I have trained Missy to go outside and she goes and then comes back to me. I have a small potion of yard in my front yard and I have used the same area for her to go. I am outside w/her...of course. After she is done, she come to me and I give her praise for doing the...

I have carpet all through my house except kitchen. Her crate is placed in my office, which I have converted from garage. (I tend to refer to the room as garage sometimes.) I keep a close look on her while she is out of crate. When she does mess, I have cleaned it pretty good w/carpet cleaner...

Hi all once again. I have been a bit busy and unable to read/communicate with everyone. I have read up on what I have missed. I have been training Missy, St. Bernard, who is now 3 months old. She has not had accidents in her crate and goes outside when I take her. I take her out after being...

MY saint bernard pup would not poop on her puppy paper only urinate. I have been working on the crate training and have made more progress with the crate than using the paper.

Hi all, Thanks so much for the info. It seems at times she is being stiff and not learning. This morning when I awoke, she had gotten out of her crate!!! I guess I had not locked it good enough. Anyway, I guess she had eaten something, cause she had messed on the floor and it was the first...

Now, how do I teach Missy to NOT bark? Expecially during playtime? Or any time?

I am trying to teach my my saint but seems we need more time to learn PT...lol We are making slow progress, but making it.

dalvi nilesh, is your dog a saint bernard? How old and and malefemale? The Bruno sounds like a saint. That is so cool if you do have a saint too. I have a saint that is 12 weeks old.

NO Saje she had only been there about an hour. I have no clue why the backstep? And again this morning, I got up and she was completely dry no messes at all. I took her outside and she relieved herself just like she should. Hopefully the stepback was a mental block..lol

So I need to follow the crate training steps and keep her in the crate and only let her out to go to the bathroom and play at night for as long as it takes? Which could be more than a week? I take it as she will eventually catch on????? I was home more today and let her roam the house and she...

I have a question about the hand signals. Should you train with verbal and hand signals at the same time? Or should you only use verbal? I haven't started the training on typical tricks yet, waiting for the PT to soak in (no phun in tended) So everyone's input is needed. Thanks all!!! This...

Sounds gr8. I am just trying to make sure I don't do anything to allow behavior to have setbacks. I want to make sure Missy learns properly. I'm not much of a dog trainer but enjoy teaching and want to have a well behaved dog. With the size of a Saint, they have to be in control. So how long...

I have been crate training Missy, my st. bernard, for about five days now. She is about to turn 12 weeks old. She has had no accidents inside the crate during the daytime and night. I have her go straight outside when she gets out of the crate and she has no problems. I work during the daytime...

I have been crate training Missy, my st. bernard, for about five day now. She has had no accidents inside the crate but when I have her out, she has had afew accidents and drippled. How long does it usually take a st. bernard to potty train? I thought that her bladder had not grown but she...

HI CreatureTeacher! I am training my 12 week old St. Bernard, Missy. I have been crate training her and about finished. She has made gr8 progress. She has not messed her crate at all! SO any advice is great. She appears to be very smart and willing to train. I will beginning to teach her...

HI Nitewarrior, I also have a saint bernard and attempting to potty train. Missy is eleven weeks old and doing better each day on crete training. I have been following the website and advice Saja sent me and it has helped. I believe the key to a saint and any other breed is to keep them on a...

Hi all, I'm back. I have some reading to catchup on. On the keeping Missy in garage thought... I have no vehicles in the garage and it is a remodeled room that I use as my office. I have the garage door still, that is why I refer to it as a the garage. Missy has her own "pen area" and that...

I read the attachement you sent me...tanxs It helped out a bunch. But I guess I'm still missing the boat about Missy beiing in her garage. We bring her inside all day when people are home and she gets loads of attention. My kids and I play w/her all the time and not a minute goes by she is...
