We are the proud parents of brother and sister blenheim cavaliers. Kipper the Dog and Cameo are 14 weeks old, and we are puppy novices. Our prior dogs were adults when we got them. In the month since their arrival, we have taken them to a "puppy patch", to go potty. We notice that they don't have a reliable poop schedule, despite a twice daily feeding. They also pee about every 2 hours.
Is there something I can do to facilitate their housetraining? I can't stay home all day much longer! I've hung jingle bells on the door handle, and we ring the bells when we go out to the puppy patch. They are in a play yard unless I know their "pipes are clear", so our next step is to hang the bells in their play yard, too. The play yard is to keep them from tumbling into the pool in our courtyard...so they can't get to the puppy patch when I'm not home. H'mmm.
Am I rushing things? Should I give up and use puppy pads?
Cameo doesn't like walking on a leash. Miss Independent Puppy wants to walk every direction except down the sidewalk with her brother and me. Any tips, other than food bribes?
