Oh, my gosh, what cuties! Oh, but puppies, what won't they get into! I also see a little of the Rottweiler in their faces especially in Bears.

They've both been doing good, Syd has really started to blossom. Syd went from shy and hardly moving to getting into everything! She's the one tearing up puppy pads and eating little things off the carpet.

One question, how often should I be taking them out? They hadn't had an accident at all in the first 36-48 hours we had them, now all of a sudden I'll catch one of them peeing on the floor in the kitchen. What should I do as far as discipline and getting them on a regular schedule?

We just got Taggart yesterday (he's 6 months old). He had two accidents in the first couple hours (oops!). After that I made it a rule that he should go out as soon as he wakes from a nap or when ever he is wandering around a lot and hasn't been out in a while.

Do not discipline them for going in the house. You want to praise the dickens out of them for going outside. Decide on a command to use (for example we say "get busy" my family says "take a break") and use that while you are out and while they are going. Then, if possible, have a snack handy (that's optional) and praise, praise, praise. Praise alone worked for Zoee, but I think Taggart is going to be snack motivated.

Good luck!!
