Thank you for your replys Dixieland Dancer, jojo and VTJess03. I do take them for a walk at night when I get home from work. I get up at 5:00 and leave at 6:00, so I don't have to much time to take them in the morning. The Am Staff "Calli" wouldn't want to go in the morning anyways. She isn't a morning girl. I know that they are very high strung dogs. Two of them were strays that I picked up, so I dodn't go out looking for them. But I totally fell in love with them. They are my babies. I know I don't have that much time, with house chores and everything I have to take care of, but I do try and make time whenever I can. I have a major fetish with having a clean house, and having 3 dogs and 2 cats and 1 husband you can imagine how much I clean. I think my main problem is that I'm not good at being top dog. I have grown up with dogs all my life with my family. But my papa was top dog. This is my first time with dogs that are all mine. So I am having a hard time. My first dog growing up was a wolf hybrid. I was never top dog with her, she was. So I think that is my main problem, but I am working on that. Spaz my 10 month old also has tick fever and demodex. So that has been fun. She had been getting dips but I stopped because it was really messing with her. She has been doing a lot better with potty training now. I'm just not good at training. I'm still learning. I like to play and have fun, not train and command. But they are learning and doing a little better. I just try to keep everything away from then and cover everything I can't keep away. But I was just wondering if you know of any tricks I can play with them that will help. Right now if they grab something of our's I say "no, bad" and then give them their toys and say "good girls"!!! I think it is helping a little. I just started though. Spaz is also a jumper, so I am trying to teach her to give ten when I want her to jump, but to stay down when I don't. That has helped to. But if you could give me anymore ideas about ways to make learning not to chew fun that would be much appreciated.![]()
