Now if we couls just him to stop peeing on the floor and to STOP trying to nurse Bo, then we will be cool. Poor Bo!

Awww! how cute!

if he pees on the floor, mop it up with a paper towel, and then, before you throw out the towel, take it outside and leave it in the area you want him to pee in. Take him out immediatly to the newly created area each time you catch him peeing. You may need to take him out once an hour to get him in a routine. Take him to the spot that now smells like HIS pee. He will get his lil sniffer going, and realise this is the potty. Getting him on a routine will help. At least every two hours, he needs to visit his new OUTside potty till he learns it.

At night pull his water dish, and it will limit how much he needs to pee at night till after he is trained. I used to pull my puppy dish of water at 10 and no more till 8 the next morn. I made sure she got to drink her fill before I pulled the dish. Then took her outside. Having the area that smells like her pee really helped. Esp when everything is snow covered and they cant find the ground to sniff.

GL, very very cute baby! :hug:

Awwwwwwwww, welcome home Mack Mack..:hug:

He is a smart cookie too! Been here less than 24 hours and has figured out that poop goes outside... and we have gone tinkle a few times out there too. Still working on that one but he will catch on. Bo has somewhat adjusted. she is still not to thrilled with being a big sis but she does lay down close to him. He is still not allowed to touch her...


So far only 2 accidents inside today, so we are off to a great start. He is a cute little booger. I don't think he will be a lapdog much longer. The last litter all weighed over 50 lbs by the timethey were 6 months old.

OMG he is adorable!! Welcome to your new home Mack Mack.

He is so cute. Good luck with all the house training. Be persistent
it will work.

I remember when I was training Sage, when I woke up at night to go
and tinkle for myself, I would take her outside, she would go and it seemed
after awhile she slept longer in the morning, and we were both happy.



Jappy :)

oh, how sweet :)
what kind of puppy is he?

Ahhh gee; he is sooo cute!!

When we got our puppy we bought piddle pads from the pet store and put one in his confined area as his potty. He caught on right away and we moved the pad towards the door as we increased his free area.

They work much better than newspaper because they are absorbant and have a plastic backing so no leaks.

He was housebroken in two weeks and hasn't had an "accident" in the last seven years.

He even goes to the door and wants out when he is going to be sick and none of our other dogs ever did that!

Day 2 is coming to a close... let's see....

Puppy has been pretty good.(He's a boxer) Bo has been a little nippy as my agitation level rises. Worrisome DD was out of school again today and bored because the child is not a fan of snow so she has been stuck in the house all day driving me nuts.

DH2B got his head chewed right off when I was cooking dinner and asked him to step away from the xbox long enough to take the dogs out... "in a minute"... doesn't matter that I was working on laundry load #4 while cooking, and trying to update the website and making sure DD was caught up on school work and trying to clean his stuff off the table so we could sit and eat... My head began to spin around at this point and lightening bolts started shooting out of my eyes when he decided he better get off his butt...

Of course HE has no clue about puppies and has no idea he needs to carry the tiny guy across the yard to the pee zone and you have to stay with him or else he B lines it back to the door because it is cold out there. So, 30 seconds after going out the dog and the man come back in and the dog squats and peed all over my floor.

Fortunately, it is soon to be bed time. And tomorrow is my day off. We finally got the insurance stuff straight and I have my Ty infusion in the morning which means I get to spend the rest of the day being a bum (heck, I might even take over the Xbox!)

He's precious!! Enjoy his puppyhood! :)
