Puppy training and small dog
Okay so i have an Akita who is 3 months old, but she has a major
downfall, she poo's in the house. She wont pee, she'll only Poo, how can i stop her from doing this? I dont want to really use mean force b/c that is really bad for Akita's, atleast to my knowledge, but i've tried nearly everything else. There are only a couple places she'll go but she does go and it sucks. I am planing on getting my carpets cleaned with some petstuff this weekend, but what else can i do to make her stop? Also I have a puppy toy poodle at home, when i got Yuki (my akita) he was 5months old, and she was only like 7 weeks. They have gotten along really well and have even ate out of the same bowl, I understand that akitas are food agressive and i'm afraid that she might go back to her Breed Specific food aggressive, for that reason everytime i feed them i watch them, and they have done really well. Yuki (akita) is a girl, and Kodi (Toy Poodle) is a male. So with them being different gender i'm hoping that Yuki and Kodi wont be agressive towards each other, so far they've done really well. Akita's are agressive with other dogs mostly of the same sex so i hope this wont carry over to her being agressive towards Kodi, whenever they are together i do watch them really well. I love both the dogs and they have bassically grown up together from a puppy, and they still are :-P, I hope they will be nice towards each other, what can/could i do to ensure that they are happy and non-agressive towards each other. Btw you should all know that they play chase all the time and Kodi wins.... |

I dont want to really use mean force b/c that is really bad for Akita's, atleast to my knowledge, but i've tried nearly everything else. What kind of "mean force" do you imagine could possibly help this problem? The keys to successful housebreaking: Schedule - meals and outings Measure - quality food, spread out over a few meals per pup's age Supervise - the puppy should be in whatever room your are in, at all times. Safely confine - when you can't be supervising (i.e. - showering/bathing, sleeping, not home, occupied with something complicated or dangerous - painting, using chemicals, home improvement, etc). Clean thoroughly - that means with carpet, cleaning from a wider circle inward, with an enzymatic cleaner such as Nature's Miracle. Block her favorite areas for several days. They have gotten along really well and have even ate out of the same bowl, I understand that akitas are food agressive and i'm afraid that she might go back to her Breed Specific food aggressive, for that reason everytime i feed them i watch them, and they have done really well. They are VERY different puppies and should be eating out of their own bowls only, with amounts and food types appropriate for their preferred growth rate. That would be true even if she wasn't an Akita, a breed which is indeed dog aggressive. So with them being different gender i'm hoping that Yuki and Kodi wont be agressive towards each other, so far they've done really well. Akita's are agressive with other dogs mostly of the same sex so i hope this wont carry over to her being agressive towards Kodi, whenever they are together i do watch them really well. I assume they are both safely confined from each other when you aren't home? Why did you decide to get two such different breeds so close to each other in age? Some Akitas do really well with other animals, particularly ones they live with and have been brought up with. Opposite genders is a plus. They should both be getting obedience training. Is there more than one person in the household? You can each take one pup to class. Training makes a great deal of impact on home and social behaviors. Supervise, use common sense and train. And realize that she's a very young puppy still, and is bound to make a few mistakes. Janet Boss http://bestfriendsdogobedience.com/ http://photos.yahoo.com/bestfriendsobedience |

So you have a normal 3 month old puppy? :} This link should help you: http://hometown.aol.com/dfrntdrums/potty-training.html I understand that akitas are food agressive and i'm afraid that she might go back to her Breed Specific food aggressive, for that reason everytime i feed them i watch them, and they have done really well. Good. I'm glad you're watching them. Keep in mind that at 3 months old, your akita is still a baby. There can still be major changes when she starts to reach adolescence, at about 6 months, even if you don't see any signs of them now. Yuki (akita) is a girl, and Kodi (Toy Poodle) is a male. So with them being different gender i'm hoping that Yuki and Kodi wont be agressive towards each other, Much less chance of it. I hope they will be nice towards each other, what can/could i do to ensure that they are happy and non-agressive towards each other. I had an akita in one of my classes who made some amazing changes because of socialization. When he first came to class, he was aloof and a little bit shy. By the end, he was the friendliest pup in class, with the best doggie communication skills. The last time I saw him was when he graduated, at about 5 months old. There were no signs that he was going to turn into a typical akita at that time, instead of the golden in the akita suit he had become. But I couldn't tell you that he won't at some point become dog-aggressive. He's much more likely to remain friendly than an akita who wasn't socialized, though. If you haven't enrolled your girl in a class, I'd do it immediately. You have a young puppy with a very open mind, but she won't stay that way for long. It's the perfect time to start training and socializing her as much as possible. As for the relationship at home, I'd recommend that you stay diligent in watching them together. Like I said, she's still a baby, and has some major attitude adjustments coming up. :} If there are any scuffles over the food dish, even a raised lip, I'd stop feeding them out of the same dish. That's kind of pushing it. You don't want to set them up for trouble.
