We DO crate train her. She sleeps (almost through the night) in a soft crate on the bed between us. It's dark and comforting (and too small to soil). Daytimes, she's either in her playpen, her day crate, or outdoors. She gets "floor time" when we're positive she's empty for the time being.cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-70585023534792280062009-11-06T09:58:32.171-08:002009-11-06T09:58:32.171-08:00About the accidents - she's still pretty young...About the accidents - she's still pretty young and may not be able to hold it. Also, some dogs pee in submission. Confining her to a small area, so she can't get away if she has an accident will play to her instinct not to soil when she can't move away from it. I used a puppy box for my last puppy (for when she took a nap as she often had an accident upon waking before I could get her out) and it worked well until she was older and could contain it better.Zoomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474153316588551039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-65296806952298529812009-11-04T19:54:52.990-08:002009-11-04T19:54:52.990-08:00Nancy: Thanks for that.
Zoomie: "WAIT"...Nancy: Thanks for that. <br /><br />Zoomie: "WAIT" was my personal favorite command with Bean Sprout. He understood it perfectly (and it showed him WE were the Alpha Dog, not him). Bartlett already waits at the doorway, but we haven't been able to convince her that sometimes we'd like it to mean "stop dead in your tracks."<br /><br />EB: Whew, though, you know? Lotta work, and -- there are still accidents. That's what washing machines are for.cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-51194144399105559412009-11-04T18:12:49.051-08:002009-11-04T18:12:49.051-08:00I'm so happy you're enjoying Bartlett so m...I'm so happy you're enjoying Bartlett so much.EB of SpiceDishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067351206391759628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-36800958706448414442009-11-04T10:12:05.771-08:002009-11-04T10:12:05.771-08:00I like "wait" as a softer version of &qu...I like "wait" as a softer version of "stay", too. Cora knows that means she can move around _after_ I get through the door, or that she can come with me in the car if she will just wait for me to get the door open and the backseat ready. She waits nicely now, but is spring-loaded in the "go" position!<br /><br />Dogs who beg at the table drive me nuts; guests who teach my dogs to beg at the table by feeding them earn my wrath.Zoomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474153316588551039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-200126934230032452009-11-04T10:11:10.030-08:002009-11-04T10:11:10.030-08:00Happiness - comes with a puppy!

I think their mummies teach them.)Ms Brown Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128283343279442537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-22969155629095741062009-11-03T16:28:44.483-08:002009-11-03T16:28:44.483-08:00Glad to hear that things are going so fabulously w...Glad to hear that things are going so fabulously with Bartlett.
