Well, I gave her a pb filled kong (frozen, and it kept her quiet in her crate for five mins until she noticed I had shut the door.) Oh, silly dog..

I have a peanut butter kong in the freezer now. Mostly she just hates her crate. Her whine is tremendous for her size and it's the only thing about her that positively bothers me. But we are getting our schedule down nicely. All potties have been outside today, no accidents!!

We've been doing Kongs filled with yogurt and pumpkin, but she doesn't seem to find these as reinforcing.

Does anyone know of any long-lasting chew treats that are safe for doxies to have? Or does anyone have any recipes to make some? Thus far, Alaska will only hang out in her crate without whining when given a tasty chew. We're using Authority Teething Rings right now, and this one has lasted a...

Hahaha. I can definitely understand why you moved him to the bed! Much comfier for the both of you!

Welcome to the forum! Stairs are a great idea, and many people also use ramps to help their doxies get on and off furniture easily.

I drove six hours from Chicago to pick up Alaska and then 11 hours home to Michigan, where we're staying until I move into my new place next weekend, but thankfully we're breaking that trip up into two days of three-hour driving.

She only cries for a few minutes every time I leave her in the pen. She's been so good!

Sara, I didn't mean to make it sound like I have expectations for Alaska to be perfectly raised to fit in with me. I know all animals have their own personalities and attitudes. It really is so great that you rescue and foster animals! That's what my family did for a really long time. Your...

I could not believe how tiny she was when I picked her up. Of course I knew she'd be small, but I had no idea she'd be this small. When I did my puppy shopping, I bought the smallest two collars that target had but both were way too big for her. Yesterday I went out and found a collar that fits...

I did not get to see her parents, unfortunately. Because I drove so far out of state, the lady I bought her from met me outside of her city so I didn't have to drive even farther into Missouri. I did get to see photos of her littermates, though, and was told she looks a lot like her mother...

I hate sleeping alone. Last year, I slept in my boyfriend's dorm every night because being alone at night gives me insane anxiety. This is one of the reasons I got a dog! Haha. I can definitely see why other people would prefer having their bed stay their bed, but I don't mind sharing! I thought...

Have some more Alaska puppy for your pleasure (:

I'm doing both! Right now, I take her outside right after she eats and we run around for a bit. She usually potties right when we get outside and I praise her and give her treats. We also spend plenty of time outside after she wakes from naps. Eventually, I'd like her to only be going outside...

You're right, they do look very similar! I have been lurking on the boards for a month or so now, so I did hear about the passing of your sweet girl. I am so sorry for your loss. I'm glad she was able to bring you joy for such a long time. I'm already dreading the day something will happen to...

Puppy Kisses! She's already spoiled rotten. She really liked her frozen yogurt and pumpkin stuffed kong!

I think I will end up letting her just sleep with me, instead of first in her pen and then with me later on. I am happy that way, since one of the reasons I wanted a dog so was I wasn't alone at night. :p Right now we're working on her liking her pen during the day. Just now we did some clicker...

Thanks to both of you for sharing. She ended up sleeping with me last night. She never whined or woke up up until seven this morning and then she went potty (both) on her pad, and went back to sleep with me until ten AM. Should she be waking up more to go potty or should I be waking her up...

Hi all, Quick question: where did you let your baby sleep when he or she first came home? Last night Alaska slept with me because it was her first night here and we got home at about 3 AM so it was easier to just settle down with her instead of making sure she was okay in her pen...

I know you must be very very busy with your new baby, but we'd love photos when you get the opportunity! (:
