I do understand she needs a lot of time and patience. I also know that 1 week is not long enough to expect her to be housebroken. I am just wondering if it is possible to get there!!! As for her history, I'm just guessing that she was used for breeding (because of her small size) and not much else. The back story I got from the rescue was a little confusing and inconsistent. She was "trucked" here to California, from Georgia, where someone was caring for her after her FIRST rescue from a breeding situation in the midwest. Her Geogia home was supposed to have had her for 2 years, so now I'm assuming she was rescued from the first place at about 2 or 3 years old since she was breeding pups...ANYWAY, I really can't be sure, but that is not the issue. She is with me now, and will STAY WITH ME FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE!!! I just don't have any experience with training rescues or older dogs, so I am in need of a little guidance! I am really worried that trying to crate train her will hurt more than help. |
