I have a dribbler. I just make sure that I remain very calm, speak very softly when I get home and basically ignore him for a bit. When someone comes over I always ask them to please ignore him, do not bend over to talk to him, and absolutely no excited talking. They eventually may sit down if they choose, and he can jump up on their lap but they have to casually touch him as they visit with me. Works most of the time. Take note: I said "most of the time." My 22 yr. old daughter is the biggest culprit.

She's always so excited to see the furbabies.

Bless your heart for taking in the Pommie.

I have a 9 mo. rescue Pommie who now has grade 4 LP. I'm not upset about it because he is a rescue and I knew he came from a byb or a puppy mill. Actually, I have found, too, that my Pommie is easier to train than my Yorkies. He is very trustworthy as far as house training is concerned. Now my Yorkies.......... Snowboy is a chewer and a shredder, though.

He has to be in his ex-pen when I cannot watch him.

Good luck with the new addition to your furbaby family.
