Goose is 16 weeks now and weighed in at 25.6lbs yesterday.

We practice pretty much what everyone else has said. We use "go pee" and "go poop" for when we want him to go. He is still so young so he does want to play a lot when we're outside...when he's in this mood I either just follow him around calmly saying the keywords or keep him on leash. Also...

Our breeder suggested that we use a soft match or two as a suppository, inserting into the dog's rectum. She said that it is a common trick on the show circuit. Between the sulfur in the match and the fact that the dog wants to expel whatever the heck is in it's butt :) it's supposed to make...

I Google'd and then read a ton of reviews.

Goose was 20.4lbs at 12 weeks. He's 14 weeks now and will be weighed in during our vet visit this week.

That sounds great. Once Goose has his last round of shots in a few days, we'll be starting him in doggy day care once a week. Very excited for the socialization as well as the convenience factor. Are you paying $36 total for 3 visits per week? That's an awesome deal. The one we plan to use...

Congrats! We start our classes in a few weeks and I can only hope to have similar success. We will be training at an obedience club that sounds a lot like yours. They do all levels of obedience and also train for various competitions (obedience, agility etc.) Also, once a month they do AKC...

We start our puppy class on May 20th. I'm hoping to have him trained in the basics by then so he's ahead of the game a bit. I'm sure he'll have other ideas though :) Good luck to everyone. Keep us posted.

Before we picked him up, we had planned on taking out Goose in the middle of the night as well. The first night we figured we might as well give him one shot at sleeping through the night and see how he did. Slept all night no accidents. He's been doing that for the past week now. Today we even...

Thank you! Everyone says that about the paws too. To us they don't seem all that big because believe it or not, he was the smallest of the 3 males in the litter. The sire was 75lbs. Just a BEAUTIFUL dog. We're thinking he'll end up around 70-75lbs too, but who knows.

I have gotten 'the look' quite a bit the past few days. He'll follow me downstairs to the door, wait while I put his leash on (at this point I know that he knows it's time to go out), and then I'll open the door, walk outside and he just sits there...staring at me. Sooo frustrating but at the...

Whelp, the Goose is finally settling in. Yesterday was his coming out party. He was much more energetic than he had been all week. Playing quite a bit more than his usual while inside. I came back from the gym and DGF told me he was doing crazy laps around our kitchen table while I was gone. His...

This describes us perfectly! Hahaha. I knew it was too good to be true! I was hoping to get responses like this. I assumed we were a bit paranoid. Good to hear (sort of?) that he'll be tearing up our apt in no time :)

Hey BW! We picked up Goose at 12 weeks old this past Sunday (4/18). Overall, our experience so far has been great. He is getting the hang of potty training, although can be a bit stubborn. He has already learned the "wait" command, which we use when going outside or coming in (he can't go...

I'd like to thank everyone for sharing their experiences too. My live-in girlfriend and I pick up our 12 week old boy on Sunday. We also live in an apt, and while we have discussed and prepared ourselves for most of the issues you all have brought up, it's nice to know other people have had...
