    A Bruce update

    Hello all! I have a few things to update about, and a few things to rant about. # 1- Bruce is not doing too well with the puppy pads. We are trying really hard.. moving him to the pad when we catch him about to go, etc. He will go on the pad when we are in the kitchen but when we are out...

    First few days of puppy bliss..

    Well, I knew it was too good to be true. The first three days of him being at home he went on the puppy pads every time. Yesterday- he had around 3-4 accidents! I was able to catch him and put him on the pads a few times.. but one or two of the times he just sat down next to me and then got...

    No interest in eating from the bowl?

    Bruce really has little interest of eating from the bowl. He sees where it is- and will look at it when I put the food it.. but then he zooms zooms away. I have been using this as bonding/charging the clicker time and have been giving him pellets after a click from my hand/ throwing them so...

    Today is the day I welcome Bruce the Ewok home!

    He has the full run of the apartment while we are here- it is a small one bedroom, so we basically can see him wherever. He can't go into our bedroom though- the door is closed. It's only when we leave for work that he has the kitchen. Alex left him with a kong and a chew, but he wasn't having...

    Today is the day I welcome Bruce the Ewok home!

    Thanks guys! He is currently sleeping on the pillow in the couch. That is his favorite place ever. It was where he sandwiched himself yesterday. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to make him feel more comfortable sectioned away in the kitchen when we leave the house or is it just a...

    Today is the day I welcome Bruce the Ewok home!

    Good morning all! We had a typical first puppy night.. whining/ barking/ and noises that sounded very much like he was trying to imitate a whale. Alex took him out of his crate at 5:30, and fed him. He wasn't eating out of the bowl- so I thought I'd take the time to do some "charging the...

    Well.. I woke up at 6:00 this morning- drove 2 and 1/2 hours- and picked up my little angel. We are home now, I am sitting on the floor while he is playing with his elephant. My goodness is he a doll! He LOVES people. I had some friends drop by to see him, and he was not shy at all! He...

    Feeding Schedule?

    Hello! I have had a few people tell me different things, so I thought I'd ask here. Some people say feed puppies lunch until 12 weeks. Some say don't worry about feeding the puppies lunch. Which is it? My plan is to give the puppy breakfast in the morning through a kong toy, and give...

    Teaching puppy not to bite?

    Hello! I have been trying to figure out the BEST way to approach the puppy biting. I found this video from kikopup.. which I think is good to show that a reaching hand = do not bite. HOWEVER, how do you stop during play or when you are NOT reaching for him? (etc. sitting on a couch, etc)...

    Pft. Why are you training your dog? That's a waste of time -My Boss

    I agree with what all of you said. I don't think its necessary to teach dogs tricks (though fun, and it gives the dog something to figure out.. so its like a game!) but I do agree I couldn't imagine my dog not being taught his manners. I think to summarize- you all stated the same thing I...

    Pft. Why are you training your dog? That's a waste of time -My Boss

    Have you guys ever come across a person (or people) who just don't get training why you would train dog? My boss laughed at me yesterday when I was telling her about clicker training and positive reinforcement. SNow granted, this girl is someone who was a psych major so SHOULD understand...

    My nesting phase.. what the UPS man brought me!

    Well, this isn't nearly as exciting as a puppy picture- but lookie what the UPS man brought me today! I am getting all set up for Bruce's arrival! Isn't his couch adorable? :) I LOVE the collar and leash also. Ignore the quality of the pictures. My droid didn't want to cooperate...
