Hello, I have a ten week old mini as well. We have had him for a few weeks. He is on Blue Buffalo for puppies. He eats 3-4 times a day. Usually a little less than 1/4 cup at each feeding. I only leave his food down for 20-30 minutes. He get's distracted easily and wanders off. He has free...

When you set your alarm for her to go to the bathroom, if she was asleep, did you wake her up to take her out?

Oh, the lack of sleep is no joke! You are absolutely right about getting frustrated and such! Thank you for the wonderful advice!! We bought a new crate for him to sleep in. I also attached a ticking clock to the side. He slept for a full 6 hours before stirring to get up to go pee!! I actually...

I have an 8wk old mini. We got him at 7wks. Save your breath about how he was too young to be let go...... We didn't have a choice in the matter. He has been doing really well with everything else. Potty training is going well. He has gone outside more than he has gone inside. He has been...

Thank you so much for the advice! He is a whiner and cry's a lot in his kennel (when we leave) so we are taking baby steps. I give him a treat when he enters the kennel as well as praises. I guess it is something that will take time to get used to. We only leave him in it for a max of an hour...

I am asking you this question because you seem to have some very good advice.... I am crate training my mini. It has been 4 nights (that he has been with us) and he is doing fairly well at night. The breeder that we got him from gave us instructions, which we have been following. They go like...

I am actually from St. Louis, MO. but we are in Arkansas for a few months. Let me know if there are any good groups to join in the Midwest Area, please.

Thank you so very much for the wonderful advice Mathew LP!! Yesterday, he actually ate out of the bowl. Maybe it was that it was new? Maybe you are right about the hour. If he drinks water, I usually take him out about every 10-20 minutes. He doesn't poop everytime he eats either. Strange dog...

I have him set as my Avatar...more pics to follow soon. He is absolutely precious!!

We just adopted him last Sunday. He is absolutely beautiful and I am in love with him already. Since I am a new mini doxie owner, I have a few issues going on: 1. He does not want to eat out of a bowl. He eats off of the floor. Any suggestions? 2. I put a collar on him for the first time...

I am new to this site and a new owner of an 8 wk old mini doxie named Aldous. I am so in love with him already but we are having a couple of issues. 1. I put a collar on him this morning and all he does is scratch. Normal? 2. I cannot get him to eat out of a bowl. It is plastic dog bowl...
