midweek

Wow, thanks so much for all of your help guys! Our pup, Skye is generally a really good dog...we also have 3 young children (nearly 3, nearly 2 and 6 months ...yeah, i know...we've been busy LOL) her biggest issie is stealing food off the kids lol, but that's more the kids fault for walking around instead of sitting at the table! Anyway, she's pretty vocal too...doesn't bark much, but she whines a lot when there's no one around. We have another dog (a 14 month old rotty x bullmastiff) which is great as she follows him around most of the time. We started last night teaching her to sit, and it worked pretty well (with a few treats lol). I also have a squirty bottle to remind her of the litte things (like chewing the kids toys lol). She's not too bothered by it, it's just a reminder that she shouldn't be doing something iykwim. Anyway, here's a piccie of her....I reckon she looks like Marilyn Manson with her freaky blue eyes and black 'eyeliner' LOL and another one of Skye asleep with our other dog, Hamish

Hi everyone...i'm new to this forum We adopted a deaf dalmation puppy last week and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to train her? She is 12 weeks old, and overall pretty good, she does chew the kids toys lol, but that's not a huge problem. At the moment we use a squirty bottle to get her attention when she's doing something wrong. We are considering taking her to obedience classes, but have to wait to switch some other things around, as the classes are on the same day as my son's swimming, and i can't get him into another day just yet! Anyway, any tips anyone had would be really good!
