i don't take her water away it's always out until she's crated up for the night and it's always with her in the xpen if we're not home for awhile. she has a free feed kibble dish always available at this point as well because she knows when she's hungry and i feed her meals three times a day on the raw diet, but she also might be hungry in between those...i don't want her getting hypo or not getting enough nutrition.
she's doing A LOT better. she went right to sleep last night, got woken up by DH when he came home by accident, she cried and we decided this time to let her cry for awhile, we watched a taped show and then she had stopped by the end, i went to her and let her out because she was being good and took her potty again and then we went and lay down and she lay down in her crate on command. she went right to sleep and did her normal potty breaks every 3 hours through the night...so good about that.
this morning we practiced sit and down again, she did both quicker than before and even with daddy there watching her!! GOOD GIRL~
she's still nipping some, i tried the yelping thing and she actually bit me harder and more often when i yelped, that one is out
daddy tells her NO and she stops, i've tried to match his voice and his assertiveness when i say no to her but she ignores me.
i try to walk away and turn my back to her, she just follows and goes for the ankles and eventually goes to her toys and ignores me back...is this one the best practice for her??
should i try the spray bottle next??
Thanks |
