Hi Plse can i pick your brains as to if im doing any of this right?! ive had Jelly 3 weeks& she's 12 weeks old & of course as cute as a button
i really would appreciate your opinions as i want to get everything right for her
1. I dont let her bite me at all (after she drew blood) but should i let her a little so she learns how hard?
2.How can i stop her jumping on rubys head? i know shes a baby & only playing but ruby doesnt like it(looks pityful at me) when jelly jumps on her growling & trying to bite her ears, Ruby doesnt tell her off (very placid) so i tell her no.i have cut rubys ears shorter cos of it.When i tell her no she just goes back again & again.Also ruby has eye drops several times a day & jelly then wont stop licking rubys eyes & face for ages,again with me saying no & trying to distract her with toys but she persists. btw Ruby now walks as far away as her lead will allow from jelly.
3.toilets-she is doing very well & i take her out often but she doesnt always go,ive been known to wait outside with her for 1 1/2 hrs only for her to go as soon as we get thro the door(before ive even closed it) Today she did both toilets outside then as i was washing my hands she wee'd on the floor.When she goes outside she always gets praise & a treat each time.she is getting wise to this as tonight she squatted for 2 seconds,ran to me for her treat & she hadnt passed a drop! At home if i catch her in the act i say no no whilst running outside with her but if i dont see her i dont say anything. She is dry overnight & i check her bedding & her undercarriage any time she's been in her crate.
4. How can i encourage her to go toilets away from home? Both girls come to work with me(my shop & home from home with the same things they have at home) i take her out often but she doesnt go. the worst day she held on from 9am until 4.10pm.Certainly on a lunchtime she sees ruby get praise for going but one day we were out over 2hours before she went at lunch.( Not walking for 2hours just waiting & pottering ) Then i have to rush back to work & i dont want to teach her that toilets means end of walks! I worry that she is going to hurt herself holding on so long.I would think she'd be desperate but sometimes still doesnt go as soon as we get home- can be maybe 20mins.
5.Is there a time i should lift water up? i dont & her last outing is midnight.
6.When she's due to go out ie.after her food should i wake her up to go(when she's asleep) to keep her to her schedule or wait until she wakes?
She is really doing well with her recall when playing & her sit Her (much needed) leave it & no are coming on.She will try to eat anything she finds outside,old chewing gum,rubbish, 1 dead bumble bee:yuk: so im working hard on leave it!
So plse can you give me any advice on all or some of the above.Sorry for the really long post but i really want to get it all right for her. i know a lot of it will be covered in the links provided but my links dont always work:crash:
I have just reread this & it sounds like a moan about jelly,its not she's fab!
