Personally, yes, it's a behavior I'd like to stop. Particularly because of my son's eating habits as well as the fact that I go to friends' houses...
Thanks! Of course she peed inside twice last night after I posted this. :rolleyes: Something about nighttime - that seems to be the new theme. But...
Bessie is a bit over four months old now, and we're finally, finally seeing some end to the crazy-puppy stage. She's settled a lot more of the...
This method works really, really well: [MEDIA] I've been using it with Bessie. I make sure there is never anything she can get left out. That...
Did it get cold where you are suddenly? Bessie had a regression after the mornings got chilly and wet - why go out in that when you can go inside?...
I can relate for sure! Bessie's 4 months and a week and starting to settle in certain ways - finally figured out ringing the bells to go out to...
My 7yo labradoodle growled at Bessie for the first couple of weeks and wouldn't play with her at all. A lot of it was that she was indeed bounding...
@JulieT - great info on walking without pulling/loose lead walking. I also tried the front-fastening on Bessie and did not like its effect on her...
You know, I think I read it long enough ago (3-4 weeks?) that I concluded that probably I just needed to do more crate training. That she was...
Seems like they always have a little left in the tank, doesn't it? :p
Thanks for all the advice and support and the good luck. I will need it! One scenario I forgot about is walking Burke. He's 80 pounds of...

I have tried crate and hammock style back seat cover. She loves the cover and sleeps in the crook of the hammock. The crate was for when she was...
Thanks @JulieT - I bought and read it a few weeks ago when this was even worse than now (at least I can now get some minutes of peace in the crate...
Great ideas @snowbunny! Yes, I've really gotten stuck in a frustrated/overwhelmed state of mind with it all and got all hopeless and teary. I...
Sorry @snowbunny - you're right about a front-fastening harness not being good for a puppy's joints and I appreciate that information. I was...
Thanks, all, for the advice and straight-shooting - @snowbunny, no offense taken. I appreciate you being straightforward and honest. And you're...
I've given her a ton of attention and time. I work part-time from home and have lightened my schedule these past few months. I spend hours with...
Okay, let me be clear - I have built up time in the crate systematically using the "click for quiet" protocol on this site, and taken her out...
Well, she ends up getting into the toilet paper, other stuff in the bathroom, or the other day she chewed my eyeglasses that I had stupidly left...
