jac 12 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think he means both the parents are already crossed. For a young pup feed 4 times a day. He will only have a small tum , and only digest small amounts of food at a time, but being young will need food often. 4 times is good, don't feed after 7pm if you want to help him stay clean in the night. Though at 8 weeks he will need a wee every 2 or 3 hours till his bladder is bigger. Dry food is fine , you can make it soft if you need to by leaving it to soak in warm water .

Scallywag 78 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 If you're using dried food make sure it's puppy food, not for adults - the puppy food has more protein in it, which a growing puppy really needs. Mix in the odd tin of sardines for a good coat and the odd raw egg too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jac 12 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 The best way to toilet train a pup is to take him outside as often as you can for a pee. You will find he will need to go, strait after food, as soon as he wakes from a nap and after playing. Take him out at theses times and stay with him. So you can tell him how good he is for peeping outside. I use a word like, go pee pee, every time, so the pup learns to go on command. I never punish a pup for going in the house, but if I catch one in the act I just pick it up and run outside . The more your pup pees outside the more he will want to pee outside as he will soon see this as his toilet. So take him out ones an hour or after food after sleep and after play. You can crate him at night if you like, but im a softy and take mine to bed , that way they could wake me so I could take them out to pee in the night , very handy for toilet training . Good luck oh and photos ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
