You Guys ARe the BEST I read this board all the time, and listen to the advice of the "experts". Yesterday I learned about this KONG thing, and straight to Pet Smart I went to get one for Mika. I bought the peanut butter filler, and yall I swear that dog bout lost her mind over that thing. SHE LOVES IT, and it did me so good to see her happy.... But on the other tip...we are 8 months, I have followed all advice on potty training, and took her out no less than 8 times yesterday evening, but she took a break at some point RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE from playing with her Kong to poop on my Aunt Tempie's persian rug.:mad: I was watching her like crazy for her to "ask" to go out, which she has started doing from time to time, but she changes her pattern all the time. We had it down to three times a day...first thing in the morning...after I come home, then last thing at night....and of course she has flipped the script and also is not consistent about anything.... and yes I have her crated in the meantime. SOmeone please tell me I am not a bad parent. I am worn out. I feel like I spend my life behind Mika. |
Oh yeah, I also bought that Ice on Ice yesterday online, and some Nyla bones. See I listen :) |

Don't panic over an occasional mistake on the potty training. It sounds like you're being very patient. Sometimes you do everything right, and they still make mistakes. It just means they're close but don't quite have it. How did you react when she had the accident in the house? From what I've heard, you shouldn't freak out or scold too much. Give her a firm "no," and take her to the area you want her to go. You don't want her to think that peeing itself is bad. Then she'll start trying to hide it from you. Keep up the good work. You're almost there. |
If she's 8 mos. that just means she can hold her bladder for no more than 8 hours in a crate..I would try getting her on a schedule, if you're home with her all the time..Take her out first thing in the morning, then around noon, then 5:00 then at bedtime..by now, she should be able to be on a schedule like that..she will get there..Yes, the kongs are great!! |

Oh thank you Lord for an encouranging word. Lately she had been looking longingly at me, then going to the door. I wish she would do it everytime. |

She's actually WAS on a good schedule that worked for both of us, then flipped the script! |
