Hey Everyone!! Thanks for all the welcomes...everyone here seems sooo nice!! Thanks for the compliments too....now about that guide Fasteddie...
I am actually quite shocked as to how fast Dolce learned, especially after I have been reading up on these little munchkins and it seems that everyone has said that they are one of the hardest breeds to train. I have had my share of mutts in the past as well as a Staffordshire terrier (or pit bull as some people like to call them; who by the way was as sweet as pie), and a pug....none of them were as easy as Dolce has been. My boyfriend thinks its just amazing...I happen to think that I just happened to 'luck out' with her.
Well, I hope you guys try out what me and Fasteddie said about putting some of their pee on the pads, and DEFINITELY watch them like a hawk (if u can, I know we all have to work), but if u catch them 'in the act' immediately put them on that pad. They'll get the hang of it...hey, my 4 year old nephew will still not go "number 2" on the toilet...I guess it just takes some little ones longer than others! Hang in there, they'll come around. Oh and by the way, Dolce has her 'episodes' too...I think she tries to test me sometime. Yesterday she had her front paws on the pad and started to go, of course missing the pad entirely, but hey she was in the vicinity so I couldnt yell at her. Actually I never have yelled at her, shes still a baby, I just try and show her...Good luck with your babies everyone and I look forward to talking to all of you on these forums!!
