Hi, Annabells mom here! I just have some questions and need some advice.
First, I have only had her a weekand we are doing ok with the potty training but she will not go out and use the bathroom for any one but me. My dad comes over during the day and my boyfriend also takes her out and she just plays and never goes. But as soon as she come in the house she pees on the floor or worse. But when I take her out she will go? I am confused.
Second, she is beginning to really want to chew things. I bought her 3 Nylabones and she has a stuffed pup. But she still wants to chew on shoes, slippers, clothes and anything else that she finds around the house. How do we work on that?
Third, she is doing good with her crate. She does not just do in there or anything like that though. I put her in there in the mornings when I go to work and some time during the day some one comes and lets her out. Then when I get home I take her out and we go outside and we play in the house. She plays a whole lot with my daughter also. I will put here in the crate if she gets to rowdy. And I put her in there when she goes to sleep at night. Am I doing this the right way?
Last, it is hard to get her to eat. I put her food bowl down in the morning and she just looks at it. I some times have to put my hand in her food bowl and get her to eat some out of my hand and then leave my hand in her bowl so that she will eat. And some times she will not even eat. And I feel like she is going to be starving all day until some one comes and takes her out. Then in the evening she eats well. Some times she will eat 2 or 3 cups of food at a time. She just leaves me feeling like I am not doing the right things some times.
Any advice would be great and help me out so much.
