    Not Getting the Potty Training!

    I can tell you what worked for us. When Sindee was smaller she was always on leash beside me while I was cooking, cleaning, or just sitting on the chair in the living room. If I could not have her attatched to me then she was in her crate. She did not have the freedom to move about the house...

    Part of pad missing

    You might want to ask your vet about using peroxide on the wound. My vet had told me that peroxide will make the wound take longer to heal. I was told that just soap and water was best and then an antibiotic cream on the wound. Tricia

    House dogs?!?

    Sindee loves to be hot side all day. When the sun goes down I have to go and find her in the back yard so she will come inside. Silly girl. Tricia

    oops...potty on the floor! (Long)

    When Sindee was that age up until about five months old she was always on leash if she was out of her crate. I did not trust her to be alone in the house. They do not fully understand to go outside. Sindee is nine months old now and she is still not allowed to go to the back of the house...

    Leaving Sindee for the first time....

    I was gone from Wed evening until Saturday afternoon. My first night back home Sindee slept all night and has been sleeping all night since. I hope she will sleep all night while I am gone next week. I would hate for my Mom to be tired the whole week. Tricia

    Is $550.00 too much????

    I paid 250 for Sindee, I was refunded $50 when I sent the spay reciept to the breeder. I was told that she was charging me for the cost of the vet fees for my Sindee Tricia

    Leaving Sindee for the first time....

    Hi. I had to leave Sindee and my youngest son with my mother (at our house) while my daughter had surgery. Sindee would get up three times a night and go outside but would not go potty. When I am home she sleeps in her crate from 10pm until 6 am. I have to leave in two weeks for a week and...

    6 month old whimpering for no apparent reason

    Sindee, 7 months, does the same thing. I do not think she is in pain it is usually when she wants something. She is not allowed in the hallway to the bathroom so when the kids go to the restroom she will sit at the door and whine and whimper until they come back. I think it is to get...

    Puppy Info...help!

    Apple Bitter worked wonders here. Now if Sindee sees the bottle she will walk away from whatever object she is not supposed to be chewing on. She is seven months old and I only have to use it on the trash can lids now. She just cannot seem to resist putting her nose in the trash. Good Luck...

    The oddest toy!!!!

    Sindee loves balloons. She will chase them all over the house. When she finally pops them she will look around for a minute and then go and sulk on her couch. Tricia

    Potty Training At Night (long, sorry)

    I agree with Maxxsmom, better kibble equals a lot less poo. Also if you will pick up her water dish after 8 or 9 at night that will help. I kept Sindee on her leash at night, that way when she needed to get up it would wake me up and I would take her outside to potty. You will not get very...

    Training to come when called

    I have a six month old female, Sindee. For about the last month she has stopped coming when she is called. She will stand there and look at you and then walk the other way. What can I do to convince her that she should come everytime I call her? She has not been to obedience training yet...

    Are we all just a little nuts????

    I have only met one person who was not at all friendly when asked about her boxer. She actually turned and walked away from my skinkids when they tried to approach her and her dog. I am hoping that maybe she was having an off day and just did not want to talk. Everyone else has always stopped...

    Just wanted to say thanks...........

    So thank you to everyone on this site who knows about the breed and takes the time to share with those of us who do not. We purchased our Sindee in November. We had done a little research about the breed and new what we wanted, but before I found this site I was talking to a byb for a puppy...

    Four month old

    Hi. I have a four month old little girl. Sindee, she knows sit and we are working on the rest. The problem I am having is she will only sit when she knows I have a treat for her. Also if she is misbehaving and I tell her to sit she will look at me like I am crazy and then jump at me and start...
