Baby...teething -->dont' bite fingers
Toddler...potting training --->wee wee pad
Teenager...rebelling ---> stop chewing up things, stop doing things out of spite, etc.


Because of these various stages, they need to be trained again and again until they are one and a half years. Keep them crate trained, even if they are 100% angels....

Just because your puppy is or was 100% potty trained....doesn't mean you stop walking them over to the puppy pad.

Occassionally, walk them over there, wait until they go, and give them a treat and praise them.

That way they still know and they are reminded that YOU ARE THE PACK LEADER!!

Hope this helps!!

I agree...They always need babysitting.LOL
