Now that yall know about Bear I have some questions.
Heres the questions
1) Bear is doing pretty good on housetraining now but he is not doing so good on crate training as far as peeing in his crate at night goes. Sometimes he soaks his crate at night or he pees like once or twice. He goes to bed between 10-11pm and I take him out at 7am because thats the time he wakes me up to go to the bathroom and to get fed. I take him outside before he gets fed and then right afterwards. My question is, what could be the reasons he is wetting his crate so much?
The vet said it could possibly be an overactive bladder but wasn't to sure as he only soaks his crate at night occasionaly.
2) When Bear goes to a new place he has no problem peeing outside but he won't poop at all. When I went to my grandma's last week we were there for a good 3 hours and Bear didn't poop, (I fed him 2 hours before we left and didnt poop at all before we left to go to grandma's.) Now,I am at my mom's house and have been here for almost 4 hours and he has not pooped once, and hasnt pooped since almost 2pm today (when we left from my house to meet my mom) and its after 9pm. I am concerned. What could this be?
3) What are some good methods to use when continuing house training? Like put a string around the doorhandle with a bell at the end, teaching his to sit by the door when he has to go, etc?
Other question:
I plan on doing agility and/or showing with Bear. Moreso agility than anything else. I have looked at the AKC site and got some info, but what could I do at home to help get Bear and I started?
TIA
