Still being lovely but still interested in the cats....one more so than the other 3. Coming out of her shell, and coming to us and children for cuddles etc. Loves walks/runs and wags her tail loads at the jingle of a lead. We had to pop out to get replacement towels etc after the flood, but she was fine, not a peep (our neighbour was listening in for us) and welcomed us home as enthusiastically as the other 3 dogs. Just trying to get her to ignore the cats more xxxx

Hi Mandy, you will probably need an extra large one, she will need room to stretch and move around and it needs to be big enough for her to stand up in and to do that round and round thing they love to do before lying down!

Thanks Julie, we tried over the weekend taking her out on the hour but we are back at work today, not sure what i'll be going home to...lol. She has been clean during last night, and maybe with us been back at work she'll find her routine around us. She is such a little poppet....yay i'm not the only female in the house now!!!! I'm sure we will be seeing you at training in the next few weeks, can't wait for you to meet her. Suex

Hi Sue How about taking her out every hour or half hour into the back garden on a lead... lots of praise when she goes and ignore when she toilets in the house. Check too what you're cleaning up with as anything ammonia based will encourage her to mark that place again and possibly use a crate during the night as they don't usually like to go where they sleep tho be sure she can see you and/or Sid so she doesn't panic at being alone. Usually once they get into a routine they're fine but possibly she's a bit sore after her op too. If she's using the pads at least you can put them in a tray so its not everywhere and gradually move them towards the door then eventually outside so she gets the idea ... that can take a while - days or weeks but they do get there J x

Hi Ruth, have you or anyone got any advice on toilet training???? We are struggling a bit with this as Tink is toileting everywhere. We can only take her for little walks as she has only just been spayed, but she wont wee outside. I was outside with her for quite a while yesterday hoping she would wee and came back inside and then done it. We are putting a puppy pad down now to try and contain where she is toileting and she is doing it on that now, but i'm not sure if that is just encouraging her? Any ideas would be much appreciated.Thank you, Suex

hi ! Just to let you know, the first night went better than we could have expected 🙂 . Ruby slept all night in her bed in the living room, without so much as a murmer. I'd left the door open so that she could come upstairs to us if she liked (our dogs usually sleep upstairs with us) but she seemed quite happy in her bed and was quite reluctant to get out of it at 6 am for a walk so gave her a lie in and she went for a walk on the school run where she met all shaped and sized dogs with no probs. No accidents during the night either! Absolutely amazed at how well she's settled in. 😀
