| Progress with Venus a/k/a bragging Mom What works for one dog, certainly doesn't work for them all! She knows the meaning of NO, lol. When I say NO, she stops in her tracks. Hasn't cared for a crate at all. So I took it out of her pen. She won't get near getting in it for a nap. Go figure! Climbs out of the pen in the middle of the night (like a child crawling out of a window). Was using the crate for a ladder, but now without the crate in the pen, she still has found her way out each night! But I can say to both dogs, "wanna go out" and she even gets excited, and will head to the back door. After business outside, I say "ready to go in" and she heads to the back door! When she potties out back, she looks at me while she's doing her business, to see if I'm watching and comes straight to me for her treat and praise! Today she started peeing on her pee pad thats NOT in her pen, finally! She's been goes outside, and has been using the one IN her pen since the 2ond day I put it in. Loves to "snitch" some of Adonis's food on the way out the back door, then again on the way inside, lol. So I now use his food as her treat after pottying! She also loves to sleep on my lap when I watch tv. Been trying to keep her awake so she'll sleep at night. Knows to go straight to the kitchen when I bring her back inside. I keep my laptop on the table, and spend all my time in this room. Adonis stays in here too, when I'm in here. And yes, I did read the post where someone's pup got ahold of the cord to their laptop, so all cords in this kitchen are way up high now! I can see a lot of progress, looking back now. Giving her more kitchen priviledges last few days, till I see pee or poop on the floor, nowhere near her pads. Then she goes outside, then back to the pen for little bit, then I let her out into the kitchen again. She's doing even better today, than yesterday. But I still have the mop bucket out, lol. The clear deoderant on the furniture worked to keep her from chewing any of it. I had to do the all the baseboards in the kitchen tonight (Mom learning), lol. She's about 13 weeks old. I got her Aug 24th and today is Sept 16th. So I have seen a lot of progress in less than a month, but still we have a long ways to go. |

| Great news about Venus. Isn't it fun to watch them progress and to actually know when something "clicks" with them?

| Yea sure is yorkieusa! Every time she learns something new, I'm just so proud of her! Keri, just figured I'd ask. I found her on the internet, forgot which site. She had a pretty private fence. Her kennels were out back, she said they were heated and a/c. But then again, she also said Venus knows to go outside, which wasn't true! Place looked clean anyway. |
