The only reason she won't walk with it on at the moment is because it is "new" to her and she doesn't know what is expected of her. |
yeah she walks on the leash now, and the leash its about 3.5 or 4 feet. Should i get a 6 feet one? i was told by trainer that the retractable ones are no good because dogs get use to PULLING after and sometimes choke themselves. This is why i also baught Chanel a body harnest. You know, the ones that basically hold them by their chest not just neck.
So this is whats going on so far.
i leave her in my room with crate. This weekend after i got my power back from hurricane Katrina, i got her in her crate for a while and she enjoyed it until some guest came over and she wanted to exit. but after that, she just randomly went in it and layed down. And i praised her for that. Telling her "good girl". I am trying to get her used to knowing that her crate is her bed. so i put treats in other end of crate so she can enter it and say "go to bed".
but, i did what you said, to leave her water all day long. Food no, But just water. And over the weekend, she had 2 accidents. Once she peed and other time was poo. diferent days each. this happened becuase i left her alone and she roamed the the house.
I feel that i cant let her out my room because she might run around and play and do her business. So what do you recomend. Eventually it would be nice that she is all over my house like my older dog and when we get home she rushes outside and does her thing.
today is my 2nd day at training school also. Lets see how that goes.
