Nina's tooth.....fell out

[tasillo]

While both me and Nina are watching Dr.PHil....i hear her bitting on a bone...trying to get a piece(one of those plastic/rubber bones..LOL
Then she stops and looks at me....with a weird look in her eyes....I kneel down to check out the bone to make sure everything is ok and see a tooth with a bit of blood on the blanket!!!!MY POOR BABY...she lost a tooth..
This deserves a kong filled with peanut butter!!LOL
Nina has also decided that heeling for 2 days was enough and is back to pulling.
I have read all the threads here about all the different leashes that nip it in the butt.....Nina is only 15 weeks...and i know the answer lies with me and not any sort of a special leash.I have found when she pulls and i just stop and look at her...she automatically stops...sits down and waits for me to walk.Yestrday we did this at least 100 times...i would not mind it so much if i did not have to pull my 3 lazy kids in the wagon as well.
Next week when the oldest ones are at school i will try do to this technique just us 2...I am hoping with time she will get it!! As already at only 4 months she is pulling my arm like crazy!

I would keep doing what you're doing, but don't expect to much at that age. Older dogs have trouble heeling let alone little puppies so don't get frustrated. Heeling isn't really that much fun. Make sure that your sessions are short. If you go for too long she will lose interest and pull and then all of your work will be for nothing. My dog is around 3yrs. old and I still have to do several short training sessions per day with him.

Our puppies are the same age! Luka pulls too- but only for the first few minutes. I just let him, even tho is tounge is hanging out. I think it's pent up energy because he usually does it when he gets a walk after being in his crate. After he pulls for a few minutes, he walks nice.
Just something you might want to consider. I think Luka will grow out of this as he gets older.
PS- I hope I get to find some of Luka's baby teeth. My soon to be ex said he never saw any of his puppies baby teeth! :( Do they all fall out?

I kept one of Roxy's teeth and put it in her baby book! I happened to be feeding her out of my hand one day (sometimes she wouldn't eat and that was the only way to get her to eat!) and she was chomping away and out flew one of her baby teeth! I had already started a little baby book for her, so I put it in there. It's not often we humans find their teeth when they lose them!
P.S. In case you're wondering, I don't have any skin kids of my own, so I HAD to do a baby book for her!
