Just had to monitor housebroken for MY house. Which, it turns out, I also need to do with him! He's confusing his doors.<br /><br />I might have a kludgy solution on the fence chasing/barking; will see when it's implemented.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-35595149083782622022015-06-09T16:58:04.644-07:002015-06-09T16:58:04.644-07:00New pups are a lot of work.

Roxy, Wiley and Flick were not housetrained when they came to me, and neither were any of the foster dogs I've had (usually young to middle-aged adults), so you're doing well there at least. The puppy mouthy and jumping up things is hopefully something that will disappear with training, but they can be taxing. Flick destroyed a couple of pairs of shoes when she was younger :(<br /><br />We've always had an issue with our dogs fence running with the neighbor dogs behind us (it's a rental and there have been many different dogs by now). Something about that yard and its set up with our fences. I simply can't allow them out unsupervised, which is annoying as heck.E.L.

So I'm doing an inventory of where he is, as much as anything.<br />Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-91176616773762857012015-06-09T04:43:36.738-07:002015-06-09T04:43:36.738-07:00So much work.

I hope it all works out!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.com
