House training 9 week old pup

Bess had a poop out in the dog toilet area of our garden this morning. So made up! My mum took her out on her lead and she had one pretty much straight away. Lots of praise and cuddles and playtime afterwards.

She's just gone off to the vet this morning for her puppy check up and first injection. My other dog is enjoying some well earned rest while the house is quiet!

Hooray! It's funny isn't it, I bet you never thought that a dog pooping outside would become the highlight of your day.

Haha! Widgeon, it has taken over my life at the moment!

Oh, tell me all about it, my life has been taken over by whether ours will wee outside. His pooing is very good and he will only ever go outside, but he's started weeing in his crate regularly, then when I get back he will go outside and do another (massive) wee....this is all in the space of two and half hours so he really ought to be able to hold it for that long! Now I'm worried he's got a UTI....off home in ten minutes to check on him again. Mentally preparing myself for another weed on bed.

Edited to add, I've turned into a lunatic woman obsessed with wee. *sobs*

Chiffy, I think you are FB friends with Thistle? She could possibly share one of your pics for you.
 
I love looking at puppy pics, I could do with some puppy cuddles to be honest. A friend stayed last night with her 10 months old lab but she's not very cuddly.

Here's Chiffy's beautiful pup, and as soon as she starts her own thread I'll put more on.

Puppy training is going well, she now mostly goes in the doggy toilet outside, even of her own accord. Occasionally if she is playing and distracted, she will go on the puppy pad we put down by the door for emergencies.
 
Agree re puppy pads, they just make the pup think it's ok to go inside.

I restricted mine to one room and had the pups outside pretty much constantly. Huge praise for when they went and then they were taught a key phrase which even now makes them run outdoors. Extra praise if they went on the designated area!
