JadeD, The puppy/dog will be for both of us and I am already expecting to do most of the effort in training and caring for it. Since, I am looking for a purebred puppy, I will more than likely be purchasing from a breeder. However, I would still consider getting one from a rescue.
Belladea, Thank you for your input! I will be training the future family member to use puppy pads rather than going outside, as we have several neighborhood dogs come in to our yard at times (our Beagle is kept in a pen in our fenced in back yard and the only time she is let out is when we are around to watch her). Did you train yours to use puppy pads or to go outside? Also, which one of the three was the hardest to potty train?
Yorkiemom1, Thank you for the book recommendation! I ordered the book today and it should be arriving Tuesday. I hope you don't mind me asking, but what was your experience with potty training? |
