Does anyone know this e-book on training?

@jkent said in 4 months old and difficult potty training:

sometimes just looks at me when I give her the command to eat it, not understanding.

She might be confused about the signals. Try eating a cracker while she's watching and then, setting her bowl down and telling her it's "okay" to eat. In the dog world, the boss (Alpha dog, or leader) eats first. Then the other dog(s) get to eat.

Love that Kathy…. BADsenji!!!!! Too perfect

Yes, they will use it for poop - but if they have diarrhea they might not be able to make it to the box!
Of course, the best thing is to figure out what's causing the diarrhea, which I'm sure you are working on. Half an Immodium usually works for ours if it's a temporary stomach upset from eating something they shouldn't…

Have you tried to contact anyone in the Tucson Kennel Club?

They don't have much of a website, but do have email addys for the President and Secretary. There are likely other kennel clubs in the area also

@DiegosMom:

I think Tanza was just agreeing with a post I made about being careful leaving dogs in cars.. no one was attacking you or saying you were not careful or were wrong for doing it.. we were just saying, in general, there are risks involved with leaving a dog in the car unatteneded..

That was my exact interpretation. Adding caution to the wind…never hurt anyone. 🙂 This is not an exclusive conversation - many people from all over the world at any given moment are viewing the forum - if they didn't take the time to read this thread beginning to end - blah - blah - iterating words of wisdom in the middle of any thread could save a life.

btw - I find advice about training is situational - every dog and every trainer has different styles. Hopefully when we get stumped with a training issue, this forum and members have different tried and true methods, various options are out there.

Thank you Jason for your time in sharing your thoughts and training methods that are working well for you. It's always good to have diversity and commonality.

ps - I don't want anyone else to feel left out with my appreciation - so a big thank you to others who've shared their important thoughts and training ideas here and elsewhere on this forum. You are all so very helpful.

Ahhhhh!! the Basenji sense of humour!!!
