I have had a dog of my own since leaving home for around 35 years and this is the most feisty one yet. Still she is a fast learner in all other senses and is paper trained (mostly) and beginning to go to the door to go outside to toilet in just a week with us. She is also going on command (9 times out of 10) when I take her out, so that is really positive as I like to train my dogs to go on hard standing at home before we go out for a walk, so that they don't foul grass or pavements where children play. Charley is lovely and it will be fascinating to watch her progress whilst having a pup so close in age myself :)Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16590711062458033145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-9234659480715894202014-08-25T01:03:12.403+01:002014-08-25T01:03:12.403+01:00Charlie is a cutie!

If she bit either ...She's just 13 weeks now. <br /><br />If she bit either of us overly hard we just screeched loudly and suddenly, it stopped her in about 2 days. All pups do it to see how far they can go, you set the level that is acceptable bearing in mind it has to be a level that a toddler could stand. Their litter mates always yelp when play gets too aggressive or painful and doing this is just building on something they already know. Although Charley's teeth are still razor sharp I can honestly say she has never bitten down hard enough for me to feel them in the last few weeks.<br /><br />She is hard work, but more from a 'is she safe' perspective. We have no gate on our drive and a busy A road runs past our property with speeding cars all day long, so I need to be aware of where she is at all times. She goes outside to use the toilet or if the door is closed uses her puppy pad which is near the door, she was virtually housetrained when we got her, knowing already that outside is THE place to go.<br /><br />We are letting the other animals set their levels with her, it's easiest that way. Suky playa fights with her, and Rosy has set high levels of Charley needing to know that Rosy is the boss, but she is gentle with her at first. The cat lets her lick him and then jumps up out of the way when he has had enough, so she knows that if she goes to far the cat vanishes!!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-17768729316099581722014-08-24T14:26:18.508+01:002014-08-24T14:26:18.508+01:00That should do the trick..and give you a spectacul...That should do the trick..and give you a spectacular show of flowers.<br />Jane x<br />Jane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-19644807811526410922014-08-24T14:24:03.977+01:002014-08-24T14:24:03.977+01:00Charlie is so cute.

My goodness she is hard work and has razor sharp teeth. We have had her a week now and she is slowly learning some manners but I get the impression she was allowed to play bite rather a lot before we picked her up. How are you finding Charley? Does Suky teach her manners?Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16590711062458033145noreply@blogger.com
