Oscar #13...FL

From Oscar and Tandy (Now Kandy) forever home: These are the pups sitting on the back of the couch in my living room. That way they can see anyone who walks by and alert me! Aren’t they adorable! Oscar is doing great. We had a little learning curve about pooping in the dining room but without crate training, I was able to get him completely house trained. I also adopted a little girl that had been in foster care with Oscar at Diane's as well. Her name was Tandy but I changed it to Kandy Kane because she is so sweet. She also had the "poop in the dining room" problem, probably because he did. It took me about a week but for the past 3 weeks, no pooping in the dining room. I simply put "treats" (carrots or some of the weight maintenance dog food) in my pocket. I faithfully walked them right after I fed them in the morning (around 6). When they pooped outside in the grass, they got a treat. This is for peeing too. They also get a treat when we get back from out walk at the front door for being such good dogs. This is repeated at 10:15 AM and when I get home from work around 7. No accidents, even when I am gone. Positive reinforcement at work. Oscar is such a lover. He will wake me up in the morning (yes, a little early) by lying on my chest with his head under my chin. It is truly a hug. Kandy comes out from underneath the covers and gives me kisses. Who could not love this. >Thank you, AADR for the good work you do and for blessing me with two more wonderful dachshunds. > Lyn
