Hi everyone.
My name is Amy, I'm new to the forums and I desperately need help! One week ago today, my boyfriend and I got a ten week old yorkipoo puppy. She was amazing the first few days. She didn't have any accidents in her crate and hardly any accidents in the house. Then...the past few days she's pooped and peed in the house quite a bit. But she also goes outside when we take her. Sometimes, she goes inside after we've had her outside for a while!! My boyfriend and I are very consistent and take her out every hour, sometimes more if she's sniffing around a lot. We also say 'outside' when we take her out and use the same door every time. Sometimes she goes to the door and barks and whines and when we take her out she goes. I'm so frustrated! Also, how the heck do I get her to know her name??? (Which is Cleo by the way). How long does it takes for dogs to start to recognize their names?
Also, she seems to be very calm one minute and the next minute she'll lunge at either one of us and try nipping our faces. She's only three pounds but she's got some sharp chompers! HELP HELP HELP!!!! Thanks.....
