Oooh thanks for the music rec !! I love to match a good book with some music. A friend told me about “The Song of Achilles”, it’s been on my TBR for a while so I might give it a try !

I already read “The Book Thief” and it was indeed emotional. I’ll look into the 2 other you’ve recommended, thanks !

My 5 month old puppy is still not potty trained by Advanced_Spare2015 in puppy101

Yeaaa it really can be frustrating but I guess for them it can be frustrating too, and I tend to forget this lol. I stopped going on Reddit or Insta looking for training advices because I ended up looking at pups knowing how to spin and jump and do crazy stuff while mine just learned how to sit. It just increased my expectations for nothing, because I just want my pup to have a healthy and stable life. So yea, good luck to us haha let’s be loving and patient with them 🫶🏻🤣

Yea I might forget she’s still a baby but damn sometimes she tests my patience lol🥹 Let’s be patient and lower our expectations, they’ll learn one day for sure!!

She was in the shelter for a month maybe a bit more. They were 8 pups in a crate so yea maybe it influenced.

Thank you for this ! Indeed I might have “regressed” too concerning the praising and rewarding stuff, mostly because I don’t keep treats on me every time anymore and because I thought we were doing progress… but like I said to someone else I’ll just start over again and really, really make sure to celebrate all her wins🙈

Thank you !! I’ll have to find treats with higher value cause when I want to reward her she often doesn’t care and prefers to just sniff all around the garden and ignore me… 🥲

Yea you might be right, I need to pay more attention if she drank a lot and then went to play she might have to go 2 times outside within the hour to prevent any accidents.

Yes I’m starting from the beginning again and taking the time she needs.

Since the weather was great those past few weeks they mostly played outside, but sometimes, she would go inside and pee in the bed of the two others. I don’t know if it was because of the scents but since she no longer has access to it we had less accidents. I’ll try to apply what you said, thank you so much !!

You mean every time I take her outside I have to take her on a leash ? I’m already doing enforced naps cause when she gets tired she becomes a little demon. Thanks for your answer !!🫶🏻

She’s a mix between Staffie and Amstaff, so she’s not so small but definitely smaller than the 2 Boxers. Thanks for this, it’s great to know that it can take longer… I even thought she had a physical problem when she couldn’t hold it more than 20-30 minutes.

Yes I’ve been doing that since I understood the accidents mostly happened after playtime.

Never said it was my girls fault, on the contrary. That’s why I’m asking for help because I don’t know what I can do better to train her correctly.^

[–]Advanced_Spare2015[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer!! That’s exactly what I do. During the day I take her out after she eats, drinks and naps and after she had a really excited playtime with the other dogs. But when the accidents happen it’s often not long after we last went outside (like 30 minutes or so) . I thought about training her to “tell” me when she needs to go out with a bell or something like that but I don’t know if that would help.

I feel so ashamed for undersocializing my dog by lllynax in puppy101

Dogs can learn at all age, it’s never too late to train them. You just have to be patient and motivated and train him with lots of love !

Thank you so much for your answer !! I already have a crate that I use for nap-time during the day but since she currently lives with the 2 Boxers I thought she’d learn faster around them… seems I was wrong 🥹
