Training is your best bet.The smaller the dog the harder they are to train.....Neauter/spay as soon as you can.Puppies are a lot of work.......

No carpet here. I just find it easier to keep clean, less work and fleas can also hide out in carpet.

I have heard male chihuahuas are the worst about housebreaking. The two I have had were awful. I have had a female chihuahua that never went inside. Of course at 11 some leeway is acceptable. :-) |
I have two well trained four-legged babies and they never soil my carpet.

It just isn't the potty part. I have a cattle dog that has medium long hair. he is a prolific shedder. I like my carpet as it is warmer but I find just as much hair on the hardwood floors as I do the carpet. If you get a smaller dog the hair part shouldn't be a big deal.

I say get the dog with or without carpet. They make life so much more fun!

First of all I love dogs. But it depends on the type of dog you plan to get.I had a britney,golden and rottie. They all shed but the golden was the worse. Some dogs shed every minute of the day.My neighbor has a dog and when he shakes and you can see the hair fly off.I found that bare floors are much easier to clean with the hair,urine,stool,dog drool. One more thing the dogs nails are hard on bare floors also.Think small. :thumbup:

We have had several dogs and the absolutely best thing we did in several houses we have lived in was to install a doggy door. They go out when they need to and you don't have to worry.

We have a little dog and almost the whole house is carpeted. I am considering going to something else, but it is not because of my little girl dog. It is because of my husband. We have been married for 27 years, and I still don't have him house trained. Only took a couple of months for Josie and we used potty pads. We had one in every room. Now we only have one in her room in case we are gone when she decides she has to go.

I'm sorry! Is anybody else having this problem. When I click on the Send button nothing happens. I click on it again and nothing happens. If I click on it 3 times then I get 3 of the same posted. I click and wait now, and sometimes nothing happens, so I click again, and now there are 2 of the same posted. This has been going on for a week or so and I don't remember it happening before.
Maybe there is a way to delete the 2nd and 3rd posting of the same message, but I haven't found it yet. Thanks |
