Help For Rocco       09/02/04 12:48 PM Edit Reply Quote Bevvy Reged: 11/04/03 Posts: 5918 Loc: Northwest Washington State If the training class people said 12 weeks, then I'm sure they're right. Did you tell them you have a beagle? It sounds like a lot of money right now, but believe me, in the end you won't be sorry. We had a Doberman, and we took him religiously. Thank GOD! If we hadn't, we couldn't have kept him. It takes a lot of work, because they need constant reinforcement (and with Dobbies especially, you need to teach them who's the "leader of the pack"). You don't want to get into the practice of sleeping with your dog. He has to learn where his territory is. Our Westie, for instance, has full run of the kitchen, and ONLY the kitchen. The minute he steps foot in the hallway, he gets corrected. I'm a toughie. I don't believe in dogs in beds, and I don't like dog smell in my carpet. We had this house built with kitchen flooring compatible for dogs because we learned our lesson the hard way. That dobbie we had made a mistake once and peed on our beautiful hardwood floors. That stain was permanent; we never got it out. Anyway, the puppy needs his own bed that he recognizes as HIS alone, a loud ticking clock and some of your dirty underwear. Sorry, but that's the truth. You want the sound of the clock to lull him to sleep, and your smell in his bed for comfort. In time, he'll learn it's a safe haven. I know it's easy to give in to those gorgeous eyes and floppy ears. I know, I know. But if you do give in, then he learns very quickly that HE's in charge. (Something tells me at this point, he IS -- eh?) Enjoy. Bev -------------------- <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~letsrow/smily3481.gif">Bevvy Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
