just got Missy (11weeks old) and have a few questions and need tips on housetraining I just got Missy two days ago. She is 11 weeks old and I can use some help in training her. Since she is so young and hasn't had her rabie shot (I have to wait one week), I cant take her outside just yet.
1) Should I train her to go in the cage on a weewee pad or should I put the weewee pad outside the cage
2) She has had a few accidents around the house, but the breeder told me to give her a lite tap on her bottom or gently rub her face in front of it, which I haven't had the heart to do yet, is this a good idea?
If so, after I do either of those things, should I put her in the crate for a punishment and if so for how long?
3) Since I go to work during the day, she is left alone for 4 hours, should I feed her before I go or should I leave a dish with her food to eat as she likes during the day?
Any help I can get with these questions are greatly appreciated. |
