thanks for the advice. I work 8 hours a day so its hard to take them out frequently. there is nobody else home. currently they are going into a crate during work. when we get home we open the cage and they go outside immedietly. We have a food dispenser and I am writing up a food plan now. Im thinking I need to get them on a better schedule for eating so I can control their bathroom movements better. I read for smaller dogs 3 times a day is good for feeding. would 2 times be ok? once before work and once after? I work from 3:30pm untill midnight. im thinking once before work and then once when i get home. i dont wake up early enough to feed them twice before work and when i get off work im not staying up late enough where i think i give them 2 meals before bed.
about pooping: When the boy does it i know he did it. i can tell by the size of the stuff. I usually act nice to him and lead him towards it. as he comes towards it and sees it he kinda puts his ears down and knows he was bad before I even show it to him. Im assuming he knows he was bad so why does he do it?? He does it in the pen so ofcourse i'll see it. I recently discoverd an area behind the couch where there was about 6 times he did the poopoo. bad dog!! lol.. so hes hiding it as well. I always show him the poop, tell him thats bad and then bring him to the peepad and let him know thats where he goes. I will have to work on watching him more i guess..
bellybands?? What are your comments on these for peeing? Im thinking about getting one for the boy. |
