I am really just doing it because I can't breathe over there!! I haven't been able to locate a steam cleaner.  I don't want to rent one.

WTF?  Are these dogs not house trained or what?

BTW, they have steam cleaners at the grocery...just trying to help.   :razz:

The puppy is not completely trained.  I don't really want to rent one but oddly enough they have the cleaner (liquid) in the garage.   :rolleyes:

So they just lock their puppy in a room instead of putting it in a crate?

No puppy is crated but sneaks off and pees in corners when you aren't watching.  She's done it to me twice this week.   :rolleyes:

Puppy = you always have to be watching.

Kimmi puppy sitting = put her nose in it because mama doesn't do that when she's home!

How people can get used to a smell like that is beyond me. 

Are you sure he didn't have Nair in his ballcap?

It's hard for me to believe that such misconceptions are still so prevalent...putting a pup's nose in it is no more effective strategy for house training than smearing a dirty diaper on a baby's face is for toilet training.  The only way to house train a dog is to recognize when she might need to eliminate, take her outside, wait for her to do her business and then praise her profusely.  In the case of a puppy; if she eats, she needs to go out; if she drinks, she needs to go out; if she wakes up, she needs to go out; if she is let out of her crate, she needs to go out; if she plays, she needs to go out; if it's been a while since she's been out, she needs to go out...(are you seeing a trend here?)

Believe it or not, sometimes those "puppy pads" can help in getting them to make the connection. When we had to leave our pup crated while away at work, I'd always line one side of the crate with some of those pads. And he'd always use them.

I began by taking a soiled pad out with us when I took him out upon returning. He went on it . Then, when I thought he needed to go out again, (See Ex's post), I took a soiled one out. It took all of about 2 days and he understood. From then on he held it until we got home,( a couple of accidents due to illness), and took him out.

I hung a choke chain on the front door knob, and he began nosing it each time he had to go potty. Once we made that connection it was smooth sailing.

And as Ex says, praise, praise, praise! Works every time!  :yes:

As with any child; spend the time to teach them up front, and they will return the favor ten fold during the rest of their lives. Only in the dogs case they'll repay you by being loyal, obedient, and willing to die for you at an instant's notice. (Unlike a child). . .

I have always found dogs to be worth every bit of the work it takes to teach them. They will always be happy to see you, they will always love you, and no matter how badly life beats you on a given day they will make it all go away with just one kiss, one wag of their tail, or one look from their completely trusting eyes.

They repay you with complete love and trust. There is no better reward for any job, and the return is much better than most.
