Hello All, I just wanted to update you on how we are doing with our new puppy, Hadassah. We are doing well, few little issues that I will be asking if anyone could help me with but I do want to tell of the things that we have overcomed. YEA!
First, we have been socializing her and she is doing great! We take her where ever she can go, softball games, Petsmart and the other day we took her my Mom's house and they have a American Bull Dog/ Boxer mix puppy and they played so well together. I was just excited about that.
Second, I have gotten her to walk on her leash ( still pulls a bit) She is doing great with it. She is just coming by leaps and bounds from where we were with her.
Third, she is just fitting in with the family so well. She is getting to be such a loving part of the family. At first she was so timid and just skiddish around all us that it made me nervous of how she would be with us and the kids. But she showing us that we can start to trust her more also. We have shown her the love and attention that I think that she needed and probably didn't have before we got her because she is just opening up now.
That's why I haen't been on her much. My kids and I have been outside playing with her and taking her for walks and just spending time with her.
My question though....
Lastnight, after my husband and I just got her new toys and were playing with her a lot. Just saying what a great dog that she has become.....
it was time for her to get a bath and I kept calling her ( she knew what time it was) she was running to different places in the house and finally ended on our bed and I went to pick her up and she peed all over our bed.
What is the deal with this? Why would she do this? I wasn't yelling, I wasn't upset, I actually that it was funny that she knew what time it was. She hasn't done her submissive pee in a while. I was doing as you all advised that when she coward or peed that I should not get mad and ignore her when she behaved that way but lastnight that was hard because we were getting ready for bed and she peed on our comforter.
Sorry that this is so long, I wanted to share my good news with you all and ask you why, please help, she is behaving like this all of a sudden.
Thank you all so much, I appreciate the help and listening to go on about my sweet puppy.
Love you! Jenni
