I'm hoping my next kid is more like Scout because I'm raising a Jett right now ;)<br /><br />My dog was a digger and a chewer... but he was potty trained, gosh darn it.

Once you guys are settled, it'll be easier. <br /><br />He is too cute, though!Jana @ Jana Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501814243709445827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-41036824956960793922014-06-19T10:44:14.049-05:002014-06-19T10:44:14.049-05:00Ah!

I took my Lily to puppy kindergarten, worked with one trainer,and now have another. we have seen such an improvement with this new trainer!! she is much calmer and lays on the floor (sure she wants attention when you get home after she has been home by herself). she hasn't tried to bite anyone (knock on wood). The new trainer has told us to use "BAAH" in a deep voice when they do something we don't want them to do and immediately praise when they do the right thing. Also, a squirt water bottle works wonders.<br /><br />The whole potty training thing takes forever. At least for me. By being consistent and taking the dog out first thing in the am, then after they eat, and again before bed, eventually they get the idea. Took lily 4-5 months to get it but it was worth the work!<br /><br />If you are interested in the trainer i used, they're a nationwide company and very reputable!

I have also used chicken wire to deter them. It is ugly, but it did the job.

So we decided to get a friend for her because we felt bad while we were away to work, too. So then we adopted Oskar. The laziest, sweetest, and honestly dumbest dog ever. He only gets excited when he knows we put food down or ask if he wants to go for a walk. At least because he is lazy and probably much older than what we were actually told by the Humane Society, he isn't a bad dog; just so different from spunky Gigi. Now that we have a yard in the new house, Jason wants a third dog. I told him that is just not happening.Nichole @ casadecrews.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965329389850039573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-59546907416238608122014-06-18T09:19:52.880-05:002014-06-18T09:19:52.880-05:00All three of my dogs have distinct individual pers...All three of my dogs have distinct individual personalities. <br /><br />Once you get settled and Jett isn't moving from place to place training will get easier.

My boyfriend and I almost got a second dog a couple of times, but in the end it was better that we didn't, because apartment options in DE are so limited if you have 2. I do feel bad about Luke being home alone, though, so I definitely know where you're coming from. (as soon as we get a house, it's go time!)<br /><br />I wish I had tricks to share, but we got pretty lucky and Luke was easy to train. We did go to an obedience class though, and that helped immensely (especially with being first time dog owners).<br /><br />I hope things get easier for you!<br /><br />Jenn | <a href="http://www.jennwellsdesign.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Business, Life & Design</a>Jenn @ Optimization Actuallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239463922130451189noreply@blogger.com
