    Housebreaking: WHAT am I doing wrong??? PLEASE help!!!

    What would you suggest for a nap schedule? Two a day (a couple of hours a piece) sandwiched between the three meals? Would that be enough? Love the bells, we have them on the front door & on the baby gate (since that is a barrier between the living area & front door). Bruno used bells to let...

    Housebreaking: WHAT am I doing wrong??? PLEASE help!!!

    No, he is not drinking a large amount. We freshen up his water bowl a few times a day so we would notice if he were. He has access to it & is allowed to drink has much as he pleases. I have never thought he was going overboard. How long would you suggest to crate him after an accident...

    Wow, we must have been REALLY lucky with Bruno. The vet did say to expect accidents for a while, but these feel more like "on purposes", lol.

    Housebreaking: WHAT am I doing wrong??? PLEASE help!!!

    Yes, he has been off leash as of late & it was during that time that things got worse. We grew comfortable with the fact that the accidents were fewer & farther apart so we gave him more freedom. He is absolutely confused or he just knows he can get away with it when I'm not looking. I...

    Housebreaking: WHAT am I doing wrong??? PLEASE help!!!

    I do crate him if I can't watch him (while cooking or the like) so that he can't get too rambunctious with the kids or get into something that will cause him harm behind my back. He absolutely empties every time we go out. We do not go in until he does pee & often poop (pooping is no longer a...

    Interesting. I never even thought about the fact that he may associate it with getting outside. Never thought about regression either. Thank you.

    Hannibal. Our 4 1/2 month-old terrorist puppy. He is our second Boxer. Our first, the late & great Bruno, passed away at 9 years old last fall before H joined our family. I recall no difficulty with Bruno & he was housebroken within a month's time. Though my husband is giving him "a couple...

    How can I treat hot spots on his paws?

    Sulfodene The Sulfodene product that I am using is not a shampoo. It is a topical "skin medication" in a liquid form.

    How can I treat hot spots on his paws?

    I am pretty sure that Bruno has hot spots on his paws. I think that they are allergy induced. He never had them until after we boarded him for the first time in his 4 1/2 years (go figure!). He came home with a couple of oozing leisions on his rear legs in the exact same spot on both sides...
