[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 543329, member: 84"] Jody I did the same thing with Maggie about 2 days in from having her home. I thought What the heck? Why am I doing the puppy thing again, I'm insane. (of course having to go outside every 20 mins can do that to a person LOL ) Then when I realized her previous owner had done nothing to socialize the pups to humans..........I was like uh oh, what did I get myself into! But I allowed Molly to spank as necessary.........and at first that was a LOT.........although Molly would never ever hurt a puppy, she sure sounded mean. But it taught Maggie what she didn't get from her Mom.........and helped me teach her how to be with people. And I'll tell ya.......it was touch and go there for a bit because Maggie is smart as they come but it just wasn't clicking and I looked like I'd just left the battle field some days from her trying to play with me like I was mom dog and getting far too aggressive. But it's been 6 wks and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I firmly believe she was truly meant to joint the family. Molly hasn't loved another dog this much since Rowdy. She got along with the others and loved them, but her bond with Maggie is special....extra close. I haven't seen Molly roll around on the floor and play since she and Rowdy played that way, my god that has been almost 10 yrs! And Maggie is brightening up Molly's last days, not to mention Rowdy's. Ok, so the puppy accidents are getting a tad annoying. But they don't happen very often and usually it's my fault not hers. (I don't catch her signal or see her at the door) But she's already learned Sit to perfection, Leave It is doing super good (which helped with her manners a LOT), And she has a bunch of others she's working on. But the noise level in the house is over the top at least 3 times a day. It's doggie playtime. :rofl: It might hurt my ears, but it's the [B]best[/B] entertainment in the world! Hilarious! And it makes me grin because it's [B]so nice[/B] to see Molly so darn happy. I've known a few people who had cocker spaniels.........and I've gotten to know the dogs well. A well trained one can be as much joy as a golden. :) We had one that lived next door to us for a couple of years. His people used to toss his rubber ball up the stairs, a game meant to give him one heckova workout. It was so funny, but he loved it. [/QUOTE]
