Hi, I have a toy in my mouth Ok, I read this article about how to train dogs not to chew on things when left alone at home. It says that the destructive chewing occurs shortly before the owner's arrival because the dog is anxious, somehow bored and nervous when expecting the arrival. It also says that to avoid that u should teach her to greet u with a toy in her mouth every time u come back home so that when she expects u her teeth will be on the toy and she won't be chewing on furniture, walls, etc. But the thing is that I DON'T GET HOW U CAN TEACH THE DOG TO GREET U WITH A TOY :confused: can anyone give me some advices :eek: I'm pretty confused, cause I don't want to crate my future puppy, sounds pretty cruel to me, she won't be able to move freely, entertain herself, run around... and that will definately stress her, cause excessive barking and will lead to broblems with the neighbours and the security guys :eek: Thank you :) |

Carter ALWAYS runs to find a toy when we drive up. He loves us to spend time with him playing fetch. I never taught him to do that . . . its just that is what he associates with good thoughts of us, I guess. Lisa |
That sounds like a good idea, I'll definately try it, at least for the 5 months when I'm doing my internship /7 hours at work :( every week day/ and then back to my normal schedule /at home almost all the time/. The idea of leaving her alone really bothers me. I'm getting her in a month and a half and I actually never had a dog. I did have a rabbit and he was really hard to train, but I managed to train him, so I bet it will be easier with a dog. Maybe that's why I'm asking stupid questions cause it's harder to train rabbits and the dogs usually get things easier :p and learn faster. Thanks, I'm gonna try that and start training her as soon as I get her :D |
These little furbabies are soooo smart. It's not cruel to crate train your baby. I do it everyday and her potty training progress is excellent. She holds herself till I come home and she goes right on the pad. They actually feel very secure in there and don't need a lot of space. It can actually scare them. Imagine being in a place 1 million times your heigh and size?? They can also get hurt if they are left in the house alone, not to mention you will have a harder time training them. Of course every puppy is different, but I've spoken to many vets and breeders about this. They feel secure and safe in their crate, so don't worry. I am at work for 7-8 hours and she gets so excited to see me. It's the best part of my day. While I'm at work, I don't worry about what she's getting into, or if she's hurt and I don't know it. Just some advice for a new mommy, but like I said every parent and every puppy is different. Can't wait for your little girl to arrive so we can see pics. :D |
