Oh Tara...
It sounds like you have already gotten some really great advice. Getting them so young means you have had to do a lot of the training that normally the mamma dog and the breeder would have done. I got two at 12 weeks but my daughter had one and I had the other. They were in the same house for about over the Christmas break until she went back to college and took hers with her. I was lonely when they left as was Hefner so I looked for another and brought Chai at 15 weeks for my 17 year old daughter.
Right now, my oldest is on break from college and it is chaos but I love it! All three dogs love each other basically. They fight when they get tired but they have separate beds and can get away to "chill" when they wan tor stay together.
I have not been great about the house training, but I have started putting manner bands on both boys because one isn't neutered yet and he lifts his leg all the time. I also put panties or newborn diapers on Chai. This at least "saves" the carpet and maintains my (and my families) sanity during this puppy period. I still take the "covers) off when they get up in the morning, after they eat, after naps and then every hour or so to encourage them to use the wee wee pads. Some days are better than others, but I love it when all three are here!!
I also have a westie and a Poodle but they can outside during the day.
You should us during a training session because I try to do all five at once!! It's a zoo (literally) but so fun. The little ones really only know how to sit, beg, dance and stay, but my westie (who lives to eat) has learned about ten new tricks since we got the yorkies! She loves the competition and loves to please me.
Good luck. I think you would like the manner band and the diapers. (get the Huggies brand) They are also great when you take your puppies to a friends house. You can put them down without fear that they will have an acccident. |
