    Maybe since she just started its different? Mias actually been laying around..very lazy and doesn't seem to want to be bothered. The other two are sniffing at her .

    Vanessa… The diaper is hilarious. She doesn't really seem to mind it at all. I went to petco yesterday and it was like 15 dollars for 10 disposble or 5 cloth diapers..I got 30 baby diapers for 8 dollars and she gets a new one everytime she goes out.. Think about how expensive that would be!! The fourth charger we've bought in the past year for our computer has decided to die so unless I can figure out how to upload from my blackberry ill have to post them when we get the new laptop... hopefully soon! Unless I sneak on our old one haha its got maybe 20 minutes of battery left and is for "emergencies" :)

    Heather,
    I found a pair of super cute under-roos from this website called sassypup.com
    http://www.sassypup.net/Puppy-Diaper-Sassy-Zebra-Hearts-Rewashable-Dog-Diaper-For-Girls-p-16525.html
    I will be giving these a try in the next few mts when our girl goes into heat.

    The problem I have found with that style, which is very common is that if you can not try it in store, you may find that the tail hole is not positioned correctly or is so big that they may as well have remained naked. I really haven't been very satisfied with the products I have been able to purchase in stores or over the web.

    Also, if you plan to leave these on your girl when you are not home be prepared to come home to utterly chewed and shredded doggy undies. Rally is adamant that she is to be a naked girl and strongly feels that no girl should suffer the mortification of underwear. I suppose that is why she chews my undergarments every chance she gets.

    An Ibizian hound that comes to agility wears womans control top panties with a tail hole cut out. The woman cuts them so they are just the control top part. Unfortunately, our hounds are a bit to small for that trick.

    Exactly how mine were…. they totally refused to wear anything.... and would make sure I got the point when there was nothing left but tiny little pieces all over....

    I must be lucky then. Hahaha Mia doesn't take them off unless she wakes up before me while she is in her cage. The other two leave her diaper alone too. Much to my surprise.

    So you think…ggg.... I will be waiting to here what happens when you put panties on your girl.... go out and come home.... Tea Tree Oil or not...:rolleyes:

    But you are right, Tea Tree Oil does work.... but the "smell" "taste" only lasts 2 to 3 hours....

    LOL, took the words right out of my mouth…we want pictures of how the panties look after you leave her with them on and you're not around to watch her. :D :D :D

    With Ruby, anyone I talked to about the panties said, skip it because they'll get shredded and clean up after her...so that was what I did. Wasn't really a big deal. I have wood floors, area rugs that are easily washed, and blankets I put on the furniture. :D

    And with Ruby, I know exactly how it would have gone w/panties (not good) just based on how she was about me checking that area to see if she was bleeding.

    @lustopher said in Puppy and confined spaces: it's about time he starts to also understand that he doesn't always have to leave his chewing to check out what we're doing It doesn't happen often, but I agree with @tanza on this. He's a baby and it is pretty "normal", but also remember that dogs are pack animals. You, your significant other, and the pup are now his "pack". If you are in another room and he comes to look for you, I would suggest just ignoring him. If he comes to you, give him a pet and go back to whatever you were doing. He will either go back to the room he was in, or settle down somewhere in the room you are in. Both of which should be acceptable. This is something that may be less frequent as he gets older, but probably never disappear entirely. Which is a good thing, I think.

    @rgk9ruler said in Puppy Painful Biting Nonstop: xylitol, a sugar substitute, is deadly to dogs Thank you for the reminder! I don't do "sugar free" products (which would be obvious if you met me), but I often forget to mention this. Very important warning. Thank you!

    @nick4 I am in the "Basenji Zone" as well. I have done the putting her in the crate and then walking away while I talk to her and then letting her out and then back in again and I do the same thing where i will step out then come back in again. She does best when i leave her a good greenie for her teeth and I step out really quick she got used to it. Also I had the shower problem I even went as far as bringing her into the shower and to my surprise she did not care and i used it as a way to get her comfortable with the water....then i slowly gave her water from the shower talked to her while I was in there and peeked out the curtain every now and then and she got a lot calmer. I dont know if any this would help. Just wanted to share!

    Our B Kairoe did the same thing after getting his shots. We massaged the area where the needle went in and sure enough he gave out a yelp. I relate it to when we get a shot and the pricked area can become quite sensitive for a few days and up to a week.

    When Stella was a pup, she would get quite mouthy and pushy, so we would restrain her movement (hold her to the floor) until she relaxed and calmed down. She would only get a little aggressive, but we both thought that it was just crazy puppy behavior. We have found that the restraint was enough to show her that she is not in charge, and she needs to do as we say.
