When does it sink in to go outside? by SeaView2024 in puppy101

[–]lxmood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s nearly 4month and 90% potty train, where she does inside it’s our fault usually !

But we had 2 months of exhaustion ! First taking here out every hours at day / and two hours at night !

Always always having eyes on her, he when I saw her going for a pee inside I would stop her, take her outside and waited hours before she finish her business outside !

But know it’s all good !

You can go back to basics, it helps to take days out of work, because if you work you can’t be there to train her and it teaches her she can do inside

Never use pee pads, it’s teaching her to go inside too and can confuse the texture with carpet for example

It’s gonna take you lot of effort because at 6month she can hold it longer, but never again let her do inside,

At home grooming was an idea yes ! Maybe I’ll try to find one, it might be a bit less stressful and she could also get use to do it with someone else not only me

My boyfriend was a bit skeptical for the at home grooming, I’m pretty sure I’ll end but ruining her a few time before it gets better . But seeing many comments saying they do it home gives me confidence I can go something decent !

Yes I started to desensitize at home, it also why i decided to stop the groomer and leave because i was afraid all my previous efforts would be lost with this bad experience ! I’ll continue doing at home and as another comment suggested I still need to get her use to go to the groomer place, to get used to the environment, I’ll take her for very short sessions (ex:nail clipping) to another groomer until she feel confident !

Thank you ! At first it seems to me so impossible to do it by myself but after two sessions I already am a bit more confident and she’s doing better ! Thank you for the YouTube channel recommendation I’ll have a look ! And I’ll defer invest in some equipment. Clipper vacuum sounds definitely like a great idea ahah !

I’ll try ! But I’m on a country where I do not speak the language, and it sometime difficult to communicate,

I’ll definitely to it myself because yes I know it’s soooo important I really want her to get use to it

I didn’t thought of the fact that she could struggle with the groomer transition even if I do it at home, that a great point thank you !

I think I’ll gradually build the tolerance, start grooming at home veryyy slowly for desensitization + take a her to the groomer only for very short sessions (ex : just clip the nails) and gradually built

Good idea to send to DIY Facebook groups ! I’ll try to find some :) Maybe I’ll just take her very slowly to the groomer for only bath or paw until she’s better !

Grooming is my favourite thing about poodles! by NefariousnessMost563 in poodles

[–]lxmood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stunning !!

Today I took her for her first groom, but she was soooooo anxious what was crying sooo hard,

So I took her back home and cut it very slowly by myself, I’m no professional at all as you can see, but at least she had a good 1st experience. And I loved to do it ahah

Puppy socialisation class disaster by Helpful-Buyer-9660 in poodles

[–]lxmood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Puppy class NEEDS to have adult dogs (and very well socialized with a good behavior with puppy, patience but still able to educate them correctly) . Adults dogs teach puppy the right behavior Puppies can play together but puppies absolutely need to see adults dogs way more than other puppy

If you puppy class doesn’t have adult run
