If you are still talking about house training/potty training, it makes no difference how big or small your dog is. One of the major housebreaking tips in the Miniature Pinscher (very very small dogs) handbook is to tether the dog to you, ie, attach the leash to the dog and to you, like your belt loop or something. Wherever you are, the dog is. No better way to avoid accidents in a puppy, or to retrain an older dog. Crates are highly recommended, too. Size of dog is irrelevent. Age makes a difference, since very young puppies don't have good control of their bladder and bowel functions. Keep reading Ed's housebreaking and puppy raising articles. You might want to buy his puppy dvd's, too. Janice Jarman

Aren't small dogs already like that to wear they start to follow you around all the time? Is it possible to get my dog attached to both my daughters by having them take turns or something? Or do dogs always just pick one person?

You can have him attached to both your daughters. This is to prevent him from having accidents.

Janice Jarman Webboard User Reg: 04-19-2005 Posts: 505 Loc: Mid Missouri USA Offline	Having them where you are allows you to notice in time that they are getting ready to have an accident and prevent it by picking them up and taking them outside. It's very easy to take your eyes off a dog for a very short period of time, if the phone rings, or there's a loud noise outside, or whatever. It only takes a second for a dog do releive itself, especially a youngster who just "goes" without searching for that perfect spot like an older dog does. Janice Jarman
