I dunno, I have another dog who goes up and down all of the time and he hasn't followed in his foot steps as of yet, so I get the impression Morgan likes it this way too! lol
I wish Tiki hadn't learned.... now,,if I don't block off the staircase, he follows me upstairs and gets into stuff he shouldn't (litter box, kids papers)
Oh, well... the things we do for our little ones
This luck Morgan will never learn, or maybe he is so smart he just prefers to be carried
Minnie was taught to go down the steps to the patio when she was 2 1/2 months old. Whenever it was time to go potty, we took her to the fist step and put her two front paws on the next step going down and we would let her do the rest of that step (sometimes she needed assistance, otherwise she would stay like that for a long time). We continued this for a few days and encourage her with sweet talk and offering treats. Now she lokes to go up and down.
lol maxi the minute i open my front door of my apt he runs out down the steps up the steps he is a crazy boy! i taught him late he didnt walk up and down until about 5 months i was too scared he would get hurt but once he felt confident that was it .........
LOL Guess I am th elucky one. Morgan at a year and half, still being carried. Never a worry about "Where did you go?" I love carrying him and I dont' intend to encourage him to learn. He can get up and down the deck to go potty, it is only two steps, that is all he needs to know! lol
lol how about on and off the bed i had to teach maxi actualy i have a chair next to the bed he likes to jump on first and than the bed otherwise the first few weeks he was peeing on it and i was having a slight nervous breakdown to say the least lol
Morgan just learned about 4 months ago how to jump up on the furniture. Bailey the little Yorkie I just got, (he just turned 4 months old), can now jump out of his playpen, (the playpen only lasted about two weeks before he could get out of it), he jumps the baby gate and now goes up and down the basements steps. I am just so glad Morgan hasnt' decided to see if he can do the things Bailey is doing. I will be in deep if he ever does! lol
As I'm reading up, it seems people use wee wee pads indoors and train this breed to go on them? Why would that be? I don't want my dogs to go indoors. Ever. Pad or not. Isn't it better just to take them outside regularly and teach them to pee there, praise, and reward? Maybe implement bell...
Hi,
So me and my wife got the cutest little puppy about when he was 12 weeks old and named him Yoda (should've named him Vader.. haha).
Now he is almost 20 weeks old. He is very friendly with people and just wants to play all the time.
As new parents, me and my wife struggle with a lot of things...
I've been potty training my Maltese he's 4 months old and he still releases himself in my house I've done everything I'm supposed to do all of everyone's suggestions and he's just not getting it. I take him out every 2 hours, take him to the same spot, tell him go potty, reward him when he...
I’m so excited. Ive heard that Maltese learn quick but I really had no idea. My home is not too big, about 2000 sq ft. But for Kobe, I’m sure it seems huge as he’s a whole 3.5 lbs. When he has to go potty he wold sit at the back door and scratch and sometimes bark. He was having a few accidents...
Hey Folks,
I just got a 6 week old Maltese puppy tomorrow. I would like to train him so that he goes primarily outside but also uses wee wee pads, would love to hear from anyone who has trained their dog to do both.
Thanks!
