It is neat how different breeds, different sizes and different personalities can present themselves, but they still know what's going on between them. I've asked my 'heeler at home to talk to Bdog and just let her know what I'm doing, but he must not understand me either sometimes...however, I did just manage to teach him to put his toys away on command. No joke, "put the ball away and get the rope" ends up with the ball in the basket and about half the time I get the rope...we are still working on it. At least the toys are getting put back in (or really close to) the basket. We've been working on that for a little while here and there. I'll admit, the 'heeler has been the easiest dog I have ever trained so I guess Karma is showing me how it works...on dog needs a lot of work, the other not much at all....both about a year and a half within each others age.
No, I think the steroids have been administered and are done as of a few weeks ago. The peeing isn't the problem in the crate so much for the long periods of time away (like fiance at work and me at school). Like I said, it seems like 29 out of 30 times is a chalupa in the crate. Occasionally there is pee problem, but poop is the majority.
Maybe Santa will get the pup a new house in our home. We'll have to just see about that. |
