She looks cute, glad she's better.
No great tips on house training other than the obvious:
Lots of pads of newspaper, gradually reducing to one by the door where you want her to go out to do it
Pre-empting and taking her out after eating
Getting a routine ASAP
Learning the signs of when she's about to go and then watching out for them
Not having huge expectations while she's so young
Lots of praise when she gets it right
Once trained, she will still have occasional accidentsFor what it's worth I've found dogs harder to house train than bitches; dog flaps give a false impression of being trained (once they're in a house with no flap, they shit everywhere...); crates accelerate house training; blue roll from a catering supplier saves a fortune otherwise spent on kitchen roll...
Good luck!

We got Hazel at the end of Nov and she was seriously ill for a few days right afterwards - long story but she's all great now!
Here we are with Liam (the teddy) 3 weeks ago
And now, shaggier and in need of a trim!
Crazy how fast they grow, but hope the Brompton Basket can handle her fully grown.
We're at 13 weeks old now and have mastered: sit, down, paw and today we working on bang-bang.
So now, tips on toilet training?! The great poo-rug incident of 2016 occurred last night. (After I told Nic just hrs before, to put the rug away after having guests over!)
