I know some dogs do tend to shake, but this is now everytime I start to take her out. Are you familiar with marker training? There is a free ebook on this site which will get you going. It is a great way to train a dog, non-confrontational, non-threatening, etc... If you take her out of the crate and don't put the leash on, how is she?

If she's refusing to eat and drink, she probably has low blood sugar and is dehydrated, combined with stress. She's been "holding it" for over 24 hours. Put a pee pad on the lawn and walk her around it until she goes. Little dog peeps, would it be appropriate to give her karo syrup to bring her blood sugar back up?

Lavonne Whitaker Webboard User Reg: 04-04-2011 Posts: 12 Loc: Offline	Yea!! Success!! I took her on a long walk and she finally went. Now Im wondering if I should just do that instead of taking her for a seperate potty time where I was taking her before.

From what I understand they can dehydrate/ get hypoglycemic and start to go downhill pretty quickly. I don't think Karo would hurt anything if the pup isn't eating or drinking. Baited water is always a good thing, made using either low sodium natural broth or homemade by boiling meat in water and straining off the fat. Are you feeding the same thing the previous owners were? I would also read up and start with marker training, it is a great way to bond, earn trust, and get the ball rolling with your pup. It is also totally non confrontational which is perfect for a little pup who is stressed and unsure of their situation.

It is great to have a special place for them to go, but at least walk her to that area and around it. Hope you had a party when she finally let go! Yeah puppy!
