[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 565993, member: 84"] (((hugs))) Sounds as if you found the best possible solution for them and that they'll be happy. I will say though, it might be that if the dogs are separated (the pack dissolved), much of the behaviors might also either be corrected or simply vanish. Sometimes that and a completely new environment helps. Never know. I'm glad there are places like this though. It's nice to know such options exist. You're an awesome doggie mom to have worked so hard to find them such a place. Janet, I think the issue you're having with Abby is that you're not physically able to hop up and get her outside every single time/the moment she needs to go and stand there to make certain she does her business before she comes back inside. My mom had that issue with Putsie, the dog she had for a while. Then someone came and stayed with her (a grandchild I think) who could get him out immediately without fail and it went much better. When I added in that she needed to give him a small treat every single time he went along with lavish praise.....it was a done deal in short order. BUT she had to have someone there willing and able to get him out quickly when needed. When Maggie started house training she was literally going out every 5 mins. I think this was because the litter was born/raised outside and she'd never had a reason to learn to hold it. For a long time it was every 10-15 mins. I was thrilled when she made it to a half hour. I think she was 3 months before she could stretch to two hours except at night. Now? She's six months and only goes out a few times a day other than to play. Which I just recently noticed and thought to myself Wow! lol That nearly drove me nuts. I'd grown used to older dogs who usually went out twice a day tops unless to play. [/QUOTE]
