I had a the same kind of thing happen, I had a girl over and things were going well and my Pup Hazel starts jumping around and barking, Hazel she is not a big barker at all. I had to put her in the crate, still barked and barked. So we went to bed, I left her in the living room and she calmed...

+1 Hazel had no interest in toys at first. You might have to teach him what to do with it. Like the pull rope I have, Hazel had no idea what it was and what she should do with it. She just knew that I wanted her to do something with it. So I put one end in her mouth wait for her to bit down and...

Yep different things works for different dogs and different people. Hazel has been showing a lot more personality in the last two days or so. She is more comfortable with us. She is a face licker, and she's your new best friend the second you let her out of the kennel, the morning are little...

They are both beautiful dogs. I was thinking about trying out the wax with some baby socks. Hazel is still getting use to us and the leash, so she refuses to move when there is any resistance. Leash training is on my list of thinks to teacher after, house breaking her, kennel training, teaching...

I'm still on the fence about crate training at bed time, we have put the kennel in the bed room, and if she can still see us, she wont stop crying. But as long as we our out of sight she calms down. I'm thinking of moving it into the living room, placing her in it for the couple hours we will be...

Thank you both for your comments. Maybe two weeks is to soon, I have trained dogs and pups before but I have never got one so young, or done house training so its a new experience. I have lots of patients and love for her. The jacket is temporary, once her adult fur comes in I'm hopping she...

Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm spending the day trying to Crate trainer so lots of whimpers that are breaking my heart. The ottawa cold is a little much for her puppy coat and she refuse to keep her booties on for walks.

I got a new 8 1/2 week old sheltie pup. She is very smart, and very sweet. I'm still trying to house breaker her, the breeder started her on paper training, so when she needs to go she looks for her papers but I don't want a full grown sheltie going on papers. The problem with the apartment is...

You could try and leave the treat out of the equation. Give her a a good petting when she gets it right with happy sounding gentle words. Or alternate between pets and treats so that way she's not always focused on "I'm getting food, I'm getting food". You also said the "Training Zone" gets her...

First let me say hello, and that two people will be using this account, myself Jordan, and my girlfriend Krystal. We live in the heart of Ottawa in a good sized one bedroom apartment. For a awhile now I had been wanting a new puppy or a new dog. Krystal owns a 12 year old cat that has a major...
