She is such a cute fur ball, and well behaved too.Letting you know she needs to go pee, what a darling little girl.Congratulations on your new baby.Any names yet?

smoop · 09-21-2008, 10:50 AM

no name yet, so far her name is 'good girl'

I had to step out of the house for an hour or so today so i took her out and she made #1 and #2 - GREAT i though, i can leave her for an hour no problem.

I left the house (freaking out the whole time) and got back and she had pee'ed in her kennel - she was SO upset. I cleaned her up and played. About 30 mins later she starts sniffing at the door (AWESOME!) and starts to pee. I snag her up and run her outside, she then poops! YAY!

It would appear she has made a mental connection with going outside for bathroom time!

I'm also working on 'chew toy good, table legs bad'. Every time we play with a chew toy i praise - when she chews a leg i slap the floor and say no.

I'm exhausted, but i love her.

and no name yet, i'm awful

Congratulations! I love the little updates! I'm getting my little boy on nov 7th. I'm so excited! I hope mine is as smart as yours about the potty training! That would be nice. Is this your first pup?

sherjoy · 09-21-2008, 04:42 PM

how old is she? she looks a lot like my little girl, Abigail Rose, who was 12 weeks today.

First pup in a long time, a very long time.

Pup is now crashed out on the couch getting ready for bed. She is in desperate need of a proper bath. Need to pick up a couple of things at the pet shop tomorrow (dog soap being #1).

Tonight is night two, i consider it 'night one of puppy bladder endurance'. My hope is she can hold it longer and longer so that SHE can get a good night sleep and not get cold outside.

We shall see

Also thanks for the name suggestions, every name helps

Your baby is adorable!!! Keep up the good work...sounds like she's catching on fast

littlewhip · 09-21-2008, 05:12 PM

Awww congrats, she is beautiful

greenmsgo84 · 09-21-2008, 05:28 PM

awww she is adorable and so smart to.

wemple2 · 09-21-2008, 05:49 PM

What a cutie you have there. Keep up the good work on potty training 101. A suggestion...consider using a word or phrase such as "hurry up"...that's what I did for Winston. He learned quickly that it meant go potty now or hold it. But really she's doing great that she is already associating the door/outside/potty. Patience and consistency are the keys along with a schedule. Hope you come up with a name real soon...usually after seeing her and knowing her you'll find a name that fits her perfectly.
Most of all simply enjoy her...they are so worth it.

Smarty Bones · 09-21-2008, 06:28 PM

Wow, what a doll. It sounds like you're doing a fantastic job. since everyone's saying she's such clever girl...

How about naming your cutie pie "SMARTY"?

...hint hint.

smoop · 09-21-2008, 10:49 PM

Smarty is a cute name!

I currently use the words 'go potty' for umm, going potty. After potty its the GOOD GIRL party.

So its 2:45 on night two and things couldn't be better. At 12:45 and 2:40 she gave a quick 'meep!' and i rushed her outside and she pee'ed quick. No poop yet though (i hope she is holding it).

The other good thing is that *I* got used to waking up, much less painful then last night. I figure on more potty break around 6am.

I also am giving her some food/water time to make sure her blood sugar levels stay even through the night.

Thanks to everyone in this thread! Just having a little 'diary' of events is helping me stay focused. Vet at 9am, puppy is asleep on my bed now (time to put her back in the crate), time for smoop to sleep too!

Congatulations! your puppy sounds like one smart cookie! Keep up the good workShe look adorable.....can't wait to hear what name u pick out for her. Love from Claire and Twinkle xxx xxx

smoop · 09-22-2008, 01:50 AM

5:47, got a poop out of her. I then brought her back in and realized "where there is smoke there is fire" back out for a pee (it worked). So that marks the first night with no accidents in the crate or house (woot!). Also no false cries at night, she only cried when she had to go.

right now i'm hearing her belly make noise, so its either bad gas or diarrhea

back to bed
