Awwwww, he's adorable!

Here's that link to the potty training page: http://www.dogtrainingbasics.com/Potty%20Training%20Basics.htm

Yes, he has no idea that he is supposed to go on the pads. Personally, I wouldn't train him to the pads at all - you eventually want him to go outside, so the easiest thing to do in the long run is to ...

Aren't the back legs supposed to be placed so the lower leg is perpendicular to the ground?

Thanks, guys. I will keep an eye on it and call the vet in the morning. I am giving her some homeopathic remedies as well, so maybe it will go away.

How is everyone? It looks like you are having a ...

Hey guys - I know I haven't been here in a good long time (too much chaos to go into right now), but I have a question. Has any of you experienced something called an aural hematoma on your dog's ear ...

Poor Precious look so sad in that photo!

Some places are better than others - you want to choose one that makes you fill out a huge questionnaire about your dog's health, his habits, his problems, etc. Make sure there are trainers and knowl ...

What can you do? Don't let them get away with it! You're the boss. It takes time and energy and WORK, but you can train them rather than letting them train you.

My husband always says "that's th ...

Oh, and one other thing. If he learns the connection between treats and potty, then you need to watch and make sure he is actually peeing when he lifts his leg. Some dogs will just squat or lift the ...

He will eventually have no choice but to go. When I took Nala on a trip once, she decided she wasn't going to pee in a new place. She wouldn't pee at any of the rest stops I made for her, and she wo ...

Take them for walks in the rain. Or make them stay in the yard until they go potty!

Perhaps you could start working on assigning a command word to the act - like "go potty" or "hurry up" or "do yo ...

When we got our dog as a puppy, she was in the crate all night, out at 5:30am, back in at 7:30am, out for an hour at lunch, back in until about 3:30pm, then out until bedtime. I specifically got up v ...

Hehe, you should have picked your second dog more carefully! Smile

We were very lucky - the new dog can keep up with the high-energy one, but inside the house she is calm and loving. The best combo!
...

I always wished that my high-energy dog would play fetch! With fetch, you can remain a low-energy human and simply sit down and lob the ball away every time the dog brings it back. What an awesome w ...

Ditto - get her checked out by a vet. You can collect some urine in a container and bring it in for a culture if you need to save a little money, but having the vet actually examine her might be a go ...

Good for you for seeking a second opinion! I'm glad to hear Sam is doing well now.

He would jump up and try to hang from Jakes ears

Yes, my hyper foster dog kept dancing on Nala's head while she was trying to rest, so Nala finally clobbered him. He crept away and was polite ...

I never found walking to tire out a high energy dog - it just seems to condition them so they have even more energy! Getting a second dog is the only thing that helped with us - the two dogs could rac ...

And when you post photos of the new one, make sure there is something in the photo for size reference - like a person or a chair or something. Smile

When I bring a new foster home, I let everyone check each other out in the front yard - on leash, but keeping all the leashes loose. If that is working out well, I bring them into the backyard and le ...
