My name is Jenny and I am a first time dog owner from Manchester, UK. I recently adopted a Romanian rescue pup through a UK based charity; she is a chihuahua terrier cross, approx 4 months old. I did a lot of reading and watching videos around positive reinforcement training before she arrived and things seem to be going well so far
She is a clever little pooch who has already figured out how to ask to go out and use the loo, and is learning how to sit. She has a pen with her crate (happy place) inside and we keep her busy with Kongs, chew toys, etc.
I took a few days off work when she arrived and tried to get her into the habit of frequent rest/chew time inbetween playing so she's happy in the pen. It seems to be working so far, with only 10 mins or so of whining the 2nd night.
We start puppy foundation training a week today and I can't wait!
Anyway, glad to be here - I've found the Positively videos so reassuring and helpful, I really want to do the right thing for the little pup!
Looking forward to getting lots of good ideas and advice
Jenny.
