Just venting about her. I love her, but man she is more than a handful and that whining that gets under my skin.
I wish she would just bark already!

Takes time .... took us about a year to fully house train our mini Dachshund, Princess ... and she's as smart as a blonde diva....
She does wee in th kennel from time to time ....
And has had maybe 3-5 accidents since the year mark ....
She'll be two in November. Spoiled brat.
Patience.

Re: My Puppy Is...
My son is going Saturday to Arkansas to pick up a Shiba Inu from a breeder to take to college with him this year, since he has a house all to himself. I had never heard of such a dog, but she is really pretty - some Japanese breed. Her parents are both "show" dogs, so she should be good stock, I guess.

Re: My Puppy Is...
Jermyn, look up all the information you can find on CRATE TRAINING a dog and then do it. Seriously! We got a book that told us how to do it before we got Indie. I stuck to it to the letter and within 3 days he was completely potty trained. Even after he was trained tho, we still had to stay with the program because they learn a whole lot more from the experience than just potty training. As a result, Indie is by far the best dog I have ever owned. I swear by the crate training method and will never train another dog any other way.

I am attempting to crate train her now.
Problem is, I didn't start her out this way and so now I wonder if I am just distressing and confusing the poor girl.

No. Just hang in there with it and be consistent. That's the biggest key - consistency!
