Most of us use our experience, but what works for one pup may not work for yours. More members will be along shortly to offer suggestions. It's been years since I raised a wee lil pup and there is so much more out there to make house training and behavior training easier then when I was raising my puppies. But, I will say this, years back when I was raising puppies, I worked, but they were confined to a small area, when I came home I would let them have the entire apartment, I had lamp wires chewed, one of my pups chewed up 8 pairs of slippers, she learned how to open my sliding door closest, and went for the slippers, every other week I was out buying another pair of slippers. Whose decision was it to get lil Max,yours or your moms? |
Thanks for the reply.
I can answer those question...
1. We are trying to train for outside only. We tried the pads but he takes them and chews them up and pieces go all over the house.
2. We live in an apartment.
3. He isn't on scheduled feeding. At all.
4. It was my decision. We lost our Jack Terrier Sammy about a year ago (he was with us for a decade) and we finally decided to get a new pet. We do love Max or at the very least, I am totally in love but I understand my mom's lack of patience.
