I bought a playpen for Tish before I even got her. I think that was the best thing I ever got for her and me. She only goes in there when I have to leave for work or step out for a while. I leave it open for her during the day when I am at home. She goes in there to do her busniess. I have a wee pad also but use newspaper in there instead. I leave a newspaper on the outside of the weepad also. She does not pee and poo in the same place. So she will do one on one and another on the other. She is such a good girl. She does go on the carpet sometimes when she is scared that I am going out again and she thinks I am going to lock her in

, but she is doing really good.
As for the barking I thought her to bark now when I say bark. So now when she does bark when she is not suppose or to much I say NO BARK. She is catching onto what I want. She is a smart little cookie
