Training A Young Puppy

By Madeline (Guest Post)

Help. We have a 3 month old pit bull puppy that wants to chew on everything even though she has toys. Seems to think she can poop or pee on the bathroom floor rug even thought she was just out. Licks, bites on me. Can anybody give me some advice on how to get this sweet puppy trained.

Hi Donna.........

We have a now 7 month old little girl Shitzu named HannahJoy. We have had her since she was about 5 months old. We have been training her to paper and wee wee pads so we can hopefully transition her to a litter box. We find she (they) are very bright (overly)...lol. She still chews but we give her plenty of bones not so much toys, and she has a long bo bo squeaky that she sleeps with. She still every once in a while might explore...but a quick sharp "HANNAH whatcha doin punky....." takes her mind right off it and breaks her concentration of it. Her ratio is about 95-98% on the pads unless she is too excited and is playing with our other two dogs....but we have learned our shitzu is such a Joy just have plenty of patience and love and dont expect too much at that age. He is much younger and needs loads of love and PATIENCE. Consistency, Repetitiveness and Alertness .....and when you see them thinkin about it.....break whatever they are concentrating on. I hope that works. You should have as much fun with your lil boy as we do with HannahJoy.

Hope that didnt bore you.......God Bless
