Pookie, the four-pound longhaired Chihuahua CAUGHT peeing on the carpet! Pookie squatted and peed just a few drops. In a matter of seconds the pee soaked into the carpet. Had no one been looking at that exact moment the incident would have gone unnoticed. Many breeders raise toy breeds in a big 4' x 4' whelping box, and they do not learn at a young age that there is a place to eat, sleep and a separate place to eliminate. When purchasing a puppy, ideally find one that hasn't learned bad habits that you will have to correct. Breeders of larger breeds tend to put them in a big room or outside—large dog waste cannot be controlled in a kitchen whelping box after six weeks as it can for toy breeds. There is just too much, and the large breed litters are larger in size as well. Another factor that I have learned by my own error is that many people, because toy breeds are so small, pick them up (every hour or two), carry them to the door and carry them outside to the designated spot.

You should make them walk on their own, as a big dog does. Constantly carrying them doesn't make them go to the area on their own. They need to walk to the door, walk out the door and walk to the designated area on their own as puppies, exactly as expected as an adult. Remember to always use the same door, always walk to the same spot, and give the command "Go Pee" or "Hurry up." If you set the timer on the oven for every 1.5 hours, then pick your pup up, and carry him outside, what does that teach him? But if you hook a leash to his collar, take him to the door, and lead him to the spot, then he has done it himself. You have to let THEM do it themselves. Also remember it is best to avoid mistakes, so keep young pups 100% supervised. Avoiding mistakes works much better than disciplining mistakes. Quite often a young puppy may mistake your discipline, as "Uh oh, I better not let my owner see me pooping on the floor, I better do it when he isn't looking,” then you get a dog that poops in the house, but always behind your back, or the couch.

So remember, rewarding correct behavior works tenfold over reprimanding incorrect behavior, as the puppy doesn't always know what he did wrong. Even if the breeder did everything right to give the pup a good start on where to pee and where not to (by using a box with a potty station to teach the puppy that there is a designated area in which to eliminate), the new owners could undo all the pup has learned by constantly carrying the pup outside in their arms rather than taking the dog on a leash and letting HIM walk there on his own. If the owners always pick up the pup in various areas of the house, how is the pup to learn how to signal when it has to do its business? A pup that is constantly picked up and carried outside to pee will not know how to tell the owners when it needs to go outside.ALBANY - Move over Rover, it's now legal for pet owners to be buried with their beloved animals. The state has formally adopted regulations proposed last fall allowing pet cemeteries to accept the cremated remains of people who wish to spend eternity with their pets.

Under the regulation, which takes effect in August, pet cemeteries can accept the remains but cannot charge a fee for a human burial and can not advertise their human burial services.Finnish Spitz Puppies For Sale In Oregon "A sizable segment of the New York community articulated a desire to be able to have their cremains buried with their pet remains," state officials wrote in adopting the regulation.Corgi Puppies For Sale In Columbia Sc The regulation's adoption brings to a close a nearly-three-year-old dispute that began when the state refused to allow the Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in Westchester County to accept the ashes of a former NYPD officer. Atmosphere Air Purifier WarrantyThomas Ryan, who wanted to spend his afterlife with his three Maltese pups.

The Hartsdale cemetery, which claims to be the oldest final pet resting place in the nation, had been interring cremated human remains since the the 1920s and had already buried the remains of Ryan's wife, Bunny, beside the couple's three Maltese dogs, named DJ 1, DJ 2 and DJ 3. The cop's niece, upstate attorney Taylor York, battled the state to allow her uncle to be buried with the dogs, too. Although bureaucrats with the New York Department of State eventually relented, and allowed the Hartsdale cemetery to accept humans remains, the state's remaining pet cemeteries were still banned from doing so. With the adoption of the new regulation, pet owners from all over the state will be able to spend eternity with fido or fluffy. At least one lawmaker, however, believes the state is exceeding its authority by telling pet cemeteries they can't charge for human funerals. "Whatever business in the state do we tell you can't charge for a legal service," said Assemblyman Tom Abinanti (D-Westchester), who has sponsored a bill permitting pet cemeteries to charge a "reasonable fee" for human burials.

The legislation passed the Assembly this week but has not been introduced in the Senate. York, reached by telephone, declined to comment on the regulation's passage. "I have done everything I can possibly to do address that issue," York said.
