Toilet Training Going Well
« on: January 10, 2014, 10:17:58 AM »
I have had Jamie for just three weeks today and he is now eleven weeks old.  His toilet training is going well and he goes to the back door and cries to go out.  This I attribute to Henry as Jamie copies almost everything that Henry does.  When Henry goes for a drink of water Jamie follows him and also drinks from the water bowl. He still doesn't have total control of his bladder, and if I don't put him out there will be the occasional puddle.

Generally, Jamie is doing well and answers to his name.  His recall isn't good when he's playing in the garden, but for a little pup it's good enough for me.  He'll be starting puppy classes on 24th January and I think he'll gain as much from them as did Henry.

Sounds as though Jamie is doing really well. Think it helps when there is an older dog as they do tend to follow them and copy things. That's  probably the reason why Blue never cocked his leg till he was nearly 5years as all the others were girls and squatted so he did the same  :005:

Jamie will enjoy the puppy classes when he goes, he's just gorgeous  :luv:

Lovely update, sounds like Jamie is doing really well with brother Henry to guide him. Well done Henry.

For the past two days now Jamie has run to either the patio door in the lounge, or the door in the kitchen, and cried to go outside.  On all occasions he has toileted.  I'm so pleased at how well he has done.  Hope I'm not speaking too soon.
