Hmmmmm... well Roxy hasn't tried to slip her colar yet ::: knock on wood ::: Both sides make good points. Maybe we'll get a harness just to try out and see if its for us. She really isn't bad on a leash right now... but time will tell :)

Roxy has had a colar on since before we even got her... the only time I take it off of her is to give her a bath or to adjust it. She's already on her second colar!!!! I was thinking of using the harness for just walks, but I think I'll just stick with what we've got. Thanks for the great...

How can you tell which is best for your pup? I know there are several different veriations on harness's, but not sure which is best for Roxy. Here is what she dose: She will bite her leash and carry it in her mouth while we're walking.... its cute it looks like she is walking herself LOL But...

Roxy's been in her crate since we got her, almost two weeks ago. The first week was the hardest, but now she is accustomed to it and its her "bed". I started out by putting all of her toys in there and I bought her special treats that she only gets when she goes in her crate. She whinned a...

I dont want to rehome her, honest I do.... even though I think about it a LOT when Im up with her in the pre dawn hours! LOL She will be such a good dog when she grows up and she is sooo darn cute as little as she is. Hubby and I had a quick talk today and I told him I was getting way more...

My kitties have been pretty tolerable of the new puppy. My old fatty just stays away from her. If Roxy is in her crate she'll come out to stretch her legs, but we have it set up so that they can both get to their food and water w/out having to cross paths with the pup. My kitten however seem...

I put her in durring nap times, so that I can take the gates down and have my house all to myself again :) That is also when I get my cleaning done or my computer time in. But I try not to keep her in for too long. Usually when we leave its only for a short time, I try to keep it under and...

Thanks everyone!! Dani12.... Your pups are sooo adorable. Ive had Roxy just a little over a week now, so sounds like you've been where I am! Whitedobelover..... OOHHH lordy. Sounds like Im in for the long haul!! We are crate training Roxy, which is helping w/ my sanity a lot... but...

I do try to vary it with the treats. I'll work with her until she is coming when called a few times and then I stop with the treats and just praise her like mad. She figures it out real quick she isn't getting fed anymore and starts ignoring me again until I bring out the treats again. She is...

Roxy has only had her first set so far... so two more months and she'll be finished with her shots. Two months just seems an awful long time. She's such a smart puppy but I really dont have a clue what Im doing as far as training goes! Ive read so much about training online, that Ive gotten...

My 8 week old Lab is driving me crazy!! I really want to start obedience with her because what Im trying at home, is just not working! My husband is NO help ( mind you she is HIS dog!!! ) and if I dont get her to start listening to me Im afraid its just not going to work out. Im exhuasted and...

my daughter is allergic to kitties also, but I couldn't get rid of her cat! She'd be soooo sad! We considered it at one point becuase her asthma was getting so bad and we were afraid it was from the cat. But then we moved to a dryer climate and it was just the weather/damp/mold of living on...

LOL Im not sure if my cats are "trained" They both know their names, but when I call them I get the look that says, "I'll get back to you on that." Minnie is my lazy girl. BTW there is NOTHING mini about her LOL She dosn't do much of anything save sleeping and eatting. LOL Mysti is my baby...

Im a die hard cat person, although Im trying REALLY hard since my DH got our puppy to be a dog person now! Of course he works, so Im Mama! Dont get me wrong, I love my Roxy pooch! I grew up with cats my whole life, so its what I know! I love their independance and how they will snuggle up...

So far Roxy cant get up onto the furnature yet by herself and we will tell her "no" and gently help her back onto all four paws :) Im sure it will be a lot harder to keep her off the furnature once she figures out how to get up. Im LOVING crate training so far and each day its getting...
