Nekhbet Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 you cant do much but catch her before she gets to do it. Tapping her on the nose when she's done it teaches her nothing but 'pee and run'. She obviously is missing that middle bit of telling you she needs to pee and to be let outside. After ANY activity say 'need a piddle?" and take her to the litter box (if she goes inside) or call her to follow you to the door, praise her, then go outside and stay there until she goes. You have to get her to go where you want. Praise her for piddling or whatever and then go back inside. You have to teach the whole process Maybe a litter tray is a good idea, when she alone at home all day she cont go outside and she's too small to hang on all day so she may be teaching herself to piddle anywhere. Also be receptive to her. If she starts getting a bit antsy or sniffing around repeat the above. Better safe then sorry! This will teach her to give physical signals and she wont be in trouble for needing a piddle. Have you tried installing a doggy door? then you can teach her to let herself out.

GLAMACHIC Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 we cant instal a doggy door just yet, we will be soon we have an empty swimming pool at the moment, no gate around it and no gate to prevent her from running onto the road...we are hoping and praying that the rain & dampness will stop so our landscapers can work!! i hope to do something real soon tho coz i would love my pup to be free to roam around the yard and explore, it will keep her more entertained than sitting in the laundry all day while we are at work!

t-time Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Have a look at the kibble on the shelves when you go to the vet I will guarantee you that will be what is recommended to feed your pup The diet and frequency of meals sounds great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyTansy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 You can mix the rice and veggies with the kibble or meat it doesnt need to be separate... I give my boy kibble with rice/raw veggies mix it all together... the kibble is very bland on its own but he likes the smell of the garlic and loves to eat every last scrap!

megz74 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hi i feed my 11month old staffy on a pure Barf Diet which she loves. Here are a few websites that i checked out and researched before i started it. www.barfworld.com www.njboxers.com I feed her for breakfast - chicken necks with minced vegies i change the vegies around weekly and add a dollop of natural yogurt every second day. For dinner she will have something different every night, chicken carcass, chicken feet, kangaroo, fish, offal, lamb or beef back, rabbit. She loves this diet she is perfect weight and has nice shiny coat and looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
