Does anyone have suggestions on training a puppy with a two year old dog in the house?

January 23rd, 2009 | by admin |

I have a six week old lab mix and a 2 year old beagle mix. Right now we are training the puppy on puppy pads until his next vaccination, and then we’ll start taking him outside. (We bottle fed him so he doesn’t have a great immune system since his mom died). I’m having some problems keeping his chewing in check, since every time I give him a puppy-appropriate chew toy, our older dog steals it from him and he turns to socks, the Christmas tree, the couch! Anyone have suggestions?

    I would recommend positive training classes. Also, Petsmart has free Potty training classes. I would call and see when the next one is.

    first of all make sure you put away all the socks any personal clothing that the puppy can easily swallow as he becomes bigger and older - because it will block his digested system.
    now, place newspapers on the kitchen floor, 15 minutes after the puppy is done eating or drinking water place the puppy of the top of the newspapers so he can relieve himself (now this is where your gonna have to be extra patient, because the puppy mostlikely is going to want to play with the newspaper - so you have to say no and go *** or go poo, until he goes then you’ll say good boy). after a week start placing the newspaper outside on the area where you want your dog to go. eventually you won’t need the newspaper.
    and as far as the toys, only bring the toys out for the dogs to play when you are around.
    good luck
