That would be the ideal...but if he can't be trusted, then exclusion works! practice his training.. think up a booby trap without noisy tin cans.. and then re open the door. he shouldn't need 'freedom' in the house...he gets walked... and played with... and has you to sit by..... If it were my dog.. I would have a bed and kong for him in the office... and a leash to encourage him to stay there whilst you are working.... Contentment all round... and a setting down of a good rule

Exclude him from the area. have him on leash ???

Aahh yes- you MUST tell it what to grab.. or it WILL take over!!! ISO? On that one 100. The 'noise' is just because I have a finepix S8000..not a DSLR and it was at full zoom...and it canna do any more ( and one day,maybe, I will get a DSLR) The bird was first cropped... then film grain applied, then a bit of saturation. a little. then selective colour.. then some blur....

He is very cute thanks for sharing the photos !

Hi. put her leash & collar on when she is indoors with you ..that way YOU have control of what she does easy ! You may want to make a rule and stick to it... consistency is important- especially to a baby. Iwould also suggest starting THIS ... now! it will benefit you both, I think The problem with this.. is the word "eventually" She is being taught that after you saying "no" , or OFF.. 2,3,4,7 times ...THEN she stops what she's doing ...not stop after you say it ONCE !! They pick this up quickly ;( have a read HERE..too

It is up to YOU what Stewie will be like if you feed him bones and meat and processed food, or whatever he is on.... in his bowl, at a certain time... then, that is that,where and when he eats ! or he goes hungry til next meal time Hopefully his breeder gave you good dietary advice Don't spoil him! little dogs are very good at training their owners ! LOL

the new picasa..... I love playing with its new features,which, tho basic.. are fun! here is a pic I took yesterday... a bee eater on power lines. Thought I'd play with it just now... different!

good for you

Isn't there something about maternal antibodies stopping early vacc's from being effective?....

As said... he has NO protection from disease he is way too small to even think about peeing on poles yet. he smells BIG mature dog pee on poles.. and reacts accordingly If you are not noticing him pee during the day.. then he is either peeing somewhere inside where you can't see... or he is dehydrated or ill and needs to see a vet urgently. some housetraining info

7 weeks is still too young to be away from his family... he will cry make sure he has had a good play session, a feed,and a toilet opportunity. get him a puppy kong.. put some treats in.. or leave him with a LARGE bone. the ticking clock/hot water bottle thing is good too leave an item of worn clothing from the pair of you... he will then smell that you are 'near' he will only be able to hold his bladder a short time.. so if he is awake.. he will need to pee .

Good for you!!

No.

Ok... just another 'scenery' shot today... this is just near our house, our 'backyard '. cropped in picasa..that's all.

I saw spotty puppy!!! gorgeous markings! pps.. nice morning shot!

if this started after you introduced a headcollar.. then MAYBE she is feeling defensive...feeling restricted by the headcollar.. This is purely speculation. Please get the services of a trainer to work with you one-to one...

huh? I used to have wonderful 'conversations' on flickr

gotta laugh at that 'pretty in pink' may be pretty... but we don't look happy! am loving all the photos.. sorry I don't do individual comments :p They are all showing talent,and some great ideas . it is nice too,to see into peoples' lives thru their lenses

here we have a pic taken this morning.. titled "Summer". It shows the colours and aspects of this corner of the world's Summertime - the blue clear sky,red dry rocky outcrop.. dying shrubs/trees.. and the gorgeous Rainbow Bee-eater, on the hunt oh- straight off-camera

Ok... most of my older pics are HERE and newer ones HERE This is a good idea.. as I never remember to bookmark links when they pop up in threads...

oh, yep !! I am getting old- not quite used to this fake grass idea. Definitely get either a proper pet loo thing... or a metre x a metre square of fake turf.. lay it on paper...

Ours sometimes catch and eat them... but we DO NOT USE POISON anywhere. The cats eat quite a few .

Ok- Jan 10 photo... taken with my finepix S8000d super macro function. framed, blurred/selectively coloured effects, and text all done in Picasa.

ash.... BIG pics ...lots of wasted time here downloading ....... I haven't looked at them,sorry.

If he is happy to go somewhere OFF the paper... then why try and force him to use paper? Sounds as if he's doing a good job so far I feel that maybe grabbing him everytime he toilets may make him unwilling to toilet in front of you....but I may be mistaken,too! Someone wiser than I will come along soon
