For the eye boogers, I was told to try distilled water. My aunt uses it for her maltese and it cleared up the tearstains and cut down on the amount of boogers.
Potty training...... well I've had Max since the first of November and he is doing really well pad training. First thing is that I work during the day and coming home in the middle of the day is not financially feasible for me so instead of crate training in the day, I have limited him to my living room area. He has already picked out an area to "go" so thats where I put his puppy pad. Second, at night he sleeps in his crate. Before I put him in his crate I take him to the puppy pad and tell him to go potty. It has taken me a week or so but he has finally gotten the idea and will go when I ask him to. Then I put him in his crate by my bed. He will usually wake me up once and will go right on the pad. Depending on when he wakes me up I will either put him back in his crate or let him sleep in my bed for the rest of the night.
I hope this helps!
Good luck with your babies!
