| You sound like you are trying very hard. Here are some tips. Put her on a feeding schedule....this will develop a potty schedule. You will get an idea of when she'll need to go. Take her out at those times. At this age you should take her out right after she eats, drinks, wakes up from a nap, or has been playing for an hour. If she doesn't go outside & tries to go when you come back in, do this: as soon as you see her squat clap your hands & say no or make the shhhhhh noise. They pick her up immediatedly & rush her outside...hopefully she will finish outside & when she does throw a freakin praise party. Also my logan couldn't hold his potty til he was 8 months old, so you have to be really observant. Also always take them out the same door so they know how to signal you that they have to go. She is still very young & she will get it. As for the barking, where is the crate? Logan was really bad in his crate (it was in our back bedroom) until we moved his crate right out side our bedroom door. Once we did this he was good, before he was just worried he was missing something. He would never be good if the crate was in our room. Never ever let her out when she's barking that's rewarding bad behavior. Invest in earplugs & ignore, ignore, ignore, she'll get it. Once Logan was 1.5 years old I was able to control his barking by putting him in time out. If he was barking & i didn't want him to I would make him sit on my lap....He hates this cause he wants to play. He learned pretty quick that barking means end of the fun. Sorry this got long I was just trying to give you some things to try.

| Boo Bah Is Almost 5 Mos Old [B]I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH. BOOBAH IS YOUNG, I REALIZE THAT, I TOOK HER OUT TO THE PARK WITH A LEASH AND ALL BUT THERE WERE SO MANY FLEAS, AND BUGS I BROUGHT RIGHT BACK HOME. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I FEEL LIKE GIVING UP TRAINING HER, BUT SHE SURPRISES ME WITH SOME OF HER ACTIONS. SHE NICKS AND BITES LIKE CRAZY, BUT WHEN SHE DOES, I PUT HER IN THE CRATE AND SAY "NO". FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AND BRING HER OUT AGAIN. ITS AN ENDLESS PRACTICE WITH ME, BUT I THINK ALL OF IT WILL PAY OFF. THE WORD IS PATIENCE, PATIENCE AND MORE PATIENCE.
