The
Mylad Chronicles
We are
going to follow the Gem and Carmen litters lives for a
little while. Some of their owners are giving me
their training stories. Fun to share and you may
even learn a thing or two. I have some pretty
gifted puppies and some pretty gifted owners.
Next post
- Chapter Two - the what will we eat today game then
everyone's favourite Chapter Three - potty training
My Tips
for Week One:
-
Relax and Enjoy - and
relax, relax relax. Don't put too much
pressure on yourself or your puppy - you will both
get this.
-
Write down your
puppies schedule it helps with potty training and be
firm at crate time - he/she is going to learn to be
quiet and secure and happy in his crate over the
next two weeks.
-
Consistency - potty
in one place - sleep in one place - food bowl down
for 15 minutes max then pick up
-
If you want to play
fetch with your puppy now is the time to start -
before 12 weeks you need to introduce fetch for them
to really get it. It's fun and great exercise.
-
Naps are important
still make sure puppy gets them.
Chapter One First Nights
I think I forgot to
tell all my new owners that hmmmm we get up at 5:30 am -
sorry guess you figured it out eh??
Owners Named are
withheld to protect their dignity - puppies don't care
lol
Willie now George:
OK so Willie - now George broke the good first
night puppy Karma. Willie the ONLY puppy so far
who did not sleep through the night. LOL. Willie
went to bed about 11:00, woke up around 2:00 am but his
very smart owner took him potty did NOT play did not
talk and got him right back to bed. Willie thought
he'd wake up the same time as usual at 5:00 am but his
owner thought hmmmmm NO and tapped his crate told him NO
and got to sleep in until 6:30 am. So not bad
way to go C. - well done!!!
Peaches
The award for first
nights away from home though has to go to K & R and
their puppy Peaches. Peaches was so good that mom
had to go check on her in her daughter's room in the
morning - she was still fast asleep so she woke her and
took her out anyway. Mia wins the first night
award for sleeping the latest. K & dad also get an
award for being one of the first to send in photos.
Domino
now Mojo
D's puppy Domino - now
Mojo was a very good boy but because I had given
explicate instructions for Mojo to poo and pee before
bed poor D waited for the poop that never came.
She finally gave up resigned herself to the fact she
would have to get up in the middle of the night when he
finally decided to poop and he slept through the night.
Sorry D I've modified my instructions somewhat. 1
poop anytime after dinner will do - some puppies don't
poop again before bedtime. My bad!! D also
shares the first photo award.
Kensie
G&C are going to have a
rough night. Kensie has a 5 hour plane ride and a
3 hour time difference tonight. I have no idea how
that is going to go LOL!!. She will sleep 5 hours
on the plane and really be ready to play about midnight
their time. G&C are going to be tired tonight.
We will find out how it all turned out tomorrow.
Mia
Just got an e-mail from
Mia's family. She was a model puppy in bed at a
reasonable hour and slept until 6:00 without a peep.
C&D congratulations - well done - and Mia too

Links and Stuff
One of my owners has some
allergy problems with her havanese and after trying
these products has had great results. What's
worked? ... better breath - no more smelly or sort of
loose stools - way less tear stain - and no more
scratching. She had me convinced so I'm going to
try the digestive enzymes on one of my Havanese that
tears and see if I notice a difference too.
Remember if you suspect allergies go Corn Free food -
number 1 food allergy in dogs
