Ahhhhh, so familiar - this was us at the start of November, right when she was 5 months. When I posted this thread! Ha! A month later she's...
@babs75 is it teething? Bessie's seemed to be teething-related. Though I took her to Petco yesterday for some socialization and she was a complete...
Thanks @snowbunny - that's exactly what I meant by "faking her out." Trying to make it less predictable so that she learns she can't tell, she...
@babs75 - definitely increase whatever you can to tire her out - playing fetch, tug, doing little training sessions to work her brain. And for...
You did the right thing. Our shelter won't adopt puppies to families with kids under 6. Some people think that is harsh, but this is why they have...
Congratulations! They are so adorable. Yellow, black, and chocolate -- one of each color for you!
Ha! Glad everything turned out well, but yes, it would have been nice of the couple to just stop for a sec, no? That is great re: her lying...
Sorry, can't edit - I meant I redirected her to an appropriate toy and would then praise her after she let go of the shoe.
@DebzC, I am so glad you too are seeing improvement! How old is Libby again? I put away all shoes but one pair at a time and would tell her no...
B is 5 mo 5 days and seems like she suddenly grew a brain. She is SO much better with basically everything from being alone in the crate/ex-pen to...
I'm really not sure Bessie will ever like the crate. I've been following the crate training protocol but I can't get past five minutes without her...
It is totally normal. My 7yo dog growled at the puppy when she'd jump at/on him, bite his beard and ears, etc. She learned not to do that (well,...
Bessie's a rescue, so unfortunately, the shelter spayed her at 8 weeks old. :( I wonder how lack of hormones will play into "adolescence." My...
@babs75 - still in puppy mode here too, but B's generally been a relatively chill pup. I can leave her loose in the house for up to 5-10 minutes...
Phew, I thought it might be too early. Well, then I don't know what's going on with my not-quite five month old at the moment. It hit like a...
Just curious...
Bessie was 38.5 lb at 19.5 weeks.
My puppy does it too!
She is so darling! Good to hear about 21-23 weeks. I'm seeing some improvement, but some regression -- I just went away for 2 days, left them...
She is so damn cute!
