The bell thing worked here too. Our dog still uses it to this day. Be patient, potty training can take a long time with some dogs.

Pen--you have a good point too. One thing I'm concerned about is she is so social. We thought about getting another dog, but right now we don't have room for another one. We are looking to buy a house in the next year and will definitely adopt anothe...

That's what my vet said. I am a teacher and he told me just like illnesses get passed around a school it is the same for dogs.

Daisy has been sneezing and coughing a lot lately. I thought for a while it might be allergies, but decided it was late in the season for them to all of the sudden strike now. I took her to the vet yesterday and found out she has a viral infection th...
