I just got a lil Golden-doodle (hence the name) on New Year’s Day. (I think). She was soooo little and soooo cute then she doubled (or trippled or somethin) in 3 months. But boy was she still ever cute. Well ladies and gentlemen and puppy lovers of America and all it’s territorities (and wherever else yall at) the cuteness wore OFF! Kinda like “novacaine after the dentist” wore off. She stunk up my house!!!! It got to the point to where I was having issues about goin home…to the funk. Well I decided to buy a new bedroom group. Which meant cleaning the carpet which meant …Ahhh GOgoooo!!!
SO! After tons of trial and error of other stuff, a few weeks ago, (as a LAST resort CUZ I was NOT about to be smellin pee while sleeping on my new bed), I decided to kennel train her and get her on a schedule while eliminating messes altogether.
She now eats and drinks twice a day. We take her out within 30 minutes (or a lil less) after meal time. No water after 5pm. And when we can’t watch her she’s in the kennel. We did it in time with my kids’ school schedule to make it easier to remember.
Now we are letting her out of the kennel more as she is peeing and pooing almost everytime we take her out…on the grass (YES)! She also gets a treat right away for doing this.
That kennel was the best 34 bucks I EVER spent…EVER! Eventually, I imagine, she will be used to peeing at these times and we will be able to “free her” altogether. For the moment however, she is doing well.
We are back to enjoying our “girl” and once more…She’s just cute.
(And lucky for her cuz she sure enuff had an eviction notice with her name on it just WAITIN to happen)!
