No, no puppy here yet, but I'm reading Ian Dunbar's Before and After
Getting Your Puppy. Aside from the doom & gloom doNOTscrewthisup!
undercurrent, it's good stuff. One thing that I question, however, is
his advice to make ALL of the new puppy's feedings by hand, spread
throughout the day, stuffed in kongs, etc. Wouldn't that make
housetraining a lot more challenging?

What do you all think about that bit of advice?


I think its great. Though I separate some of it out for using as rewards.

Annie has eaten exactly *one* meal out of a bowl. The rest are either for
working, or out of kongs.
