HOw am I supposed to train Runner when my kitty wants to play with her? He jumps and attacks her tail and her long fur on her neck and swats her face while he's standing up to get to her.
She seems to be getting sit and stay pretty well. Even sitting up begging. But the laying down she's being a bit stubborn about.
Food n water, how do I get her to drink more in the day so she won't have to go at night? If I take up her water at night, she's up mid of night sighing really loud because she wants water. BUT, if I take up water too late, she wakes me up at 4 am to go outside.
I know that by taking up her food at night, and trying to get her to eat at certain times not free feeding her is the way to go. But I'm afraid she will starve herself lol. She is soo picky about food. She wants the good human stuff.
When I tried to train her earlier I guess I just didn't have anything worth working for. I just bought some of that " natural " food that looks like a sausage roll. I slice that up and cut into peices and she LOVES that and actually will work for it. I saw a changed dog. I've never seen her so ... I dunno what to call it. NOt happy cus she jumps up and down and goes nuts when happy, I'd say interested. Before when I tried training her she looked at me like I was stupid. Now she actually listens.
I hope this stuff really works for her actions towards my daughter. It's not serious right now, but if I don't act upon it now it could get.
now, how am I supposed to get her food n water to her while she's attached to my hip? do I just set it next to me where ever I am if I'm sitting for a lil bit?
