You will have a happy pup AND a happy you!
Keep reading here. There is a ton of threads on potty training. Just use the search function. We have ALL been there/done that. You are going to be fine.
Good luck! |
Actually, my husband and I spend at least 1.5 hours playing with each day and let him run around the apartment most of the day. When we lock him into his playpen is usually for 10 mins or so when we are home, or at most 4 hours when I am in school. As for the barking... I cannot allow him to bark too much because I live in a apartment complex where the walls are very thin. During the day when most people are at work, I just ignore his barking, but he would just go on and on and on and on and wouldnt stop. I tried the Cesar Millan calm and assertive approach... it worked at the beginning and he caught on that too and wouldnt even respond to that. Dont get me wrong... I love my little baby to death... tomorrow is another day and I'll just have to try again and keep my cool. I am wondering if Guinness is too smart for me.
YorkieTalk is great... before getting Guinness, I spent hours and hours reading up on all the posts in health, picking a puppy, finding breeders, training, puppy proofing, etc.
I really appreciate all of your comments and replies.. =)
