Yes she LOOKS innocent!!

Hi guys, hopefully this works... these are some pics of My 14 week old fur baby, Alba. Sand on my nose... what sand, i havent been digging From the day we got Alba she has set up camp in my coffee table, i dont know what she is going to do when she can no longer fit! In bed with all of her toys

Yes i know it would confuse her, i am putting in a dog door very soon, just at the moment we dont have a side fence as the house is fairly new, so i cant let her out on her own just yet. my partner gets home in 2 weeks so will sort that out then . i take her out all the time when im home, and the only place i want her to go is outside, wehn im not home she has to use the mat. she was really good , but now just has strated going next to all the blinds cause i think she is confused, but i think she goes there cause i had the mat near the blinds.. and i deffinatly dont want her going near my blinds. Then you need to take her to where you want her to go now and reward that. Right now, she's going to where you started her off. Im rewarding her lots when she goes, hopefully she gets it soon thanksyou :D

Ahh that would explain i have been using bleach.. but i do swap and change , sometimes i will use my Floor cleaner disinfectant. heading to shops soon so i will look for that stuff. thanks :D

Ok another problem with my 13 week maltese, Alba, Toilet training started off fairly good, i take her out side and she kows to go out there, and 1/2 the time if she needs to do Poos she runs around the Door crying, so i get to her in time. for times i'm not home or at night time she has a Pee Pad which she does wee's on just not poos only when im not home though, i had the Mat placed Near my blinds in the laundry and the past few weeks if she has accidents inside she always does it near my blinds in my dining area and living, luckily tiled! and it wasnt untl my partner said that she is going in those places because her pee Pad is next to the blinds in the laundry???? She knows her Mat is in the laundry but still wont run to it if she needs to go. If i catch her doing it i run her outside. I am cleaning the areas after each time she goes there. I have moved teh mat in laundry away from the blinds, but i think cause it's been there since she we had her.. she is used to the blinds now??? My partner suggested putting the Mat in the spot she goes to during the day... but is that just teaching her that it's ok to go there?? Any suggesstions??? Thanks, Jenna

Well looks like i have alot more excitable Pees to look foward too then Thanks heaps for your replies :D

Hey all, I've had a read through other toileting posts but couldnt find anything so thought i'd ask Alba (Maltese) is 12 weeks old now , she seems to Pee everytime we come home or wake up in the mornings as she gets very excited and its not normailly just in the one spot , she will do a little bit, then run around get more excited then pee some more as she is running etc I try not work her up. i have tried ignoring her for 5 - 10 min before i let her out?? but she seems to get even more excitied then , Is there anywhere way to stop it?? Thanks

Thanks for that i am going to go get some chicken mince from lenords today. Ihave already been mixing raw blended up broccoli, carrot, and coliflower and egg but i didnt know they could eat all those other things .so will have to try some more vegies. With the bones, as she only a maltese and 11 weeks old what bones would you suggest? and do i go to a pet shop or supermarket to get them? I know i can give her chicken necks just wondering what else thanks

hope that's pet mince with bone in not "meat mince". Glad you've got back to the breeder, just don't get stressed out about it. The food is there, it's fresh, a healthy dog will eat when it's hungry. Thanks for that , well i shall go buy some Pet mince then, i assumed human grade mince would be better cause she only getting used to ger dry biscuts now, should i leave them or will it be ok to change the brand do u think? i just dont want to change things to much like you said, maybe mix a few of the new dry with the old??

Thanks, i spoke to the breeder and she was feeding her mince/ rice/ vegies which i have tried, so i just assumed it was her settling in to a new home, but she still isnt eating those foods, but seems to be happy with the chicken mince so far

Hi, new here. I have a few conerns with my 10 1/2 week old maltese's ( name is Alba ) diet, i have had her 2 1/2 weeks she is my first Puppy. she is only just starting to eat properly now, she didnt seem to like anything i was giving her which was RAW Beef/Lamb Mince (Human Grade) i was mixing that with 1 egg and some rice but she would just cry and run away. So the past 2 days i have just started her on RAW Chicken Mince(human grade) on it's own and she seem to be liking that. she LOVES cooked chicken too. so at the moment she is getting Chicken Mince for brekfeast and dinner and Dry food ( Innova) for Lunch which she is just starting to get used to aswell as she wouldnt go near it before, i was even soaking it in puppy milk, or water etc , still wouldnt touch it she doesnt seem to be eating a whole lot , but its better than what she has been.. she is drnking plenty of water which is good So my question is , is what i am feeding her ok? Is Chicken mince on it's own everyday ok for her? should i be adding anything else to her diet? Also i am thinking about changing her dry food , just because i have to drive 30 Min just to get it plus i dont really like getting it from PP . she is only just starting to eat her dry food now so is it a good idea to be changing it?? I havent started her on bones or anything yet as im not sure if she is to young ?? Thanks
