Puppy pee and family

Hibachi · September 2010

-Lyla is really good about peeing outside, she only has a few accidents inside - but her crate training has become an issue. Just 30 minutes ago I went to go eat so I put her in her crate so she doesn't chew on anything (I just took her out for 45 minutes to do her business and play before I ate) so when I come back 10 minutes later after I eat there is pee in the crate and she has stepped and rolled in it!! Now, she does this on purpose - she can hear us in the kitchen so it's not like we left her. She only likes staying in it at night...but she wakes me up at 5:30-6:00 every morning to go pee and if I don't wake up in time she pisses everywhere and rolls in it. Normal dogs don't like sitting in their pee...and I know she can hold it because she holds it all night until 5:30-6:00. Sometimes I want to just leave her in there to sit in it because she knows it's wrong. So, I end up giving her baths almost everyday or at least every other day because she smells horrible. -_- -My 4 year old cousin, I thought my sister was annoying...oh no, you will never know annoying until you meet my 4 year old cousin! She's aloud to do whatever she feels like...her mom was 19 when she had her...she's 23-24 now, but they NEVER discipline. What she needs is a good slap on the butt. Okay, where to start....I was only here a few weeks before (we will call my 4 year old cousin Suzy and her mom Betsy. lol.) Suzy took a permanent marker drew on her TV (yes she has her own TV at 4), her DVD's and her DVD cases...want to know what her mom says? "HAHAHA look she drew on the little animals eyes" I just laughed along like whatever, she gave her a rag and told her to clean it up, now Suzy said "I can't do it" and just left it there...so I cleaned it off because I didn't want it to dry there. Then she draws on her bed sheets, wall, and closet door. I asked Betsy if that was there before, so she went to go look and laughed and said "Nope those are new". THEN, I sub at my grandma's daycare so this week I had to sub in for my grandma, well at nap time one of the little kids asked for a drink so I told my grandma and she said "Tell him no he thinks he can walk around and drink juice like Suzy does" I was thinking how dumb is that? Obviously the other kids are going to want to do what Suzy does and Suzy shouldn't get special privileges just because she's family. Now that I have my puppy Suzy will NOT leave me or Lyla alone..,I was putting Lyla in her crate to sleep and Suzy said "I am coming in there with you" so she did and I put Lyla in her crate. Well, Suzy kept taking her toy and throwing it and calling her name so by this time Lyla doesn't want to sleep and is whining - I tell Suzy to be quiet so she goes crying to her mom (like she does every time and makes up lies like I hit her and told her she couldn't stay in here, etc) Yes, I know she's only 4 but not even my sister was as misbehaved as her...and those are only a few things she has done. She knows she's lying to and she only does these things to annoy me. -My older cousin who's in her 30's was asking me if I knew how English Bulldogs are bred and then she was rambling on about how they are born by c-section, etc etc. I was getting pissed because I know my stuff, it looked like she was trying to sound smart when all she was doing was preaching to the choir. She has no clue how long I have been studying Great Dane breeding and that I have a passion for Bulldogs as well. She only commented on a photo I posted to tell me about her EB, which I don't really care because I was talking about my dog and if she wanted to talk about her dog then she should have brought it to her page. Even if she wasn't being mean I don't take well to people telling me about something I already know - I wasn't even talking to her I was talking to my OTHER cousin (xD) about how I was planning on having a brindle or black tri litter in the fall of 2012, if I have the time and funds. Because he was wanting a female and my grandpa wants one...2 years to go and I already have 2 homes, and I wanted to keep one myself. Anyways, it just irks me that she butted in and was telling me about MY passion. I guess I'm just weird, I just had to get this off my chest. xD -gives tray of cookies-

-Does she have room in her crate to move around a lot? It's best if their crates are only big enough for them to stand up and turn around. Any extra space will encourage them to potty in their crates. Also, she's young, so there is still a chance she occasionally can't hold it, so just keep working with her. -Sounds exactly like one of my nieces. Spot on. I don't get along with my sister, so I no longer see my nieces, which is fine for me, but unfortunately I don't really have any suggestions on dealing with it. I guess, just remain firm. If you let her bad behavior effect you, then she'll probably notice, and continue to misbehave. -For situations like that you can try politely correcting them, or stating your disagreement if it's opinions, but generally the best option is to just ignore it. I have a friend who is like that, and 9 times out of 10 I just ignore him, unless it's getting increasingly repetitive over a short period of time.

-I have a divider that I put in there that came with the crate, but she still pees and even pooed once at 5:30 in the morning because she wanted out, last night she didn't have the divider in because I took her and her crate to work with me and she only peed once last night unlike when she has a small space - she started whining at 6:30 this morning and this time I knew she couldn't hold it because of the way she was acting so I took her out. But, I can tell when she does it on purpose. -I'm usually really firm with her, but if I tell her to leave or whatever the only problem is when she goes and tells her mom and her mom believes her because this morning her mom came to me and was like "She came crying to me last night saying you where being mean to her etc etc" and I told her what happened and she was like ohhh...so you see if she doesn't confront me then she will believe her daughter's lies. -I wasn't rude to her, I just have a low patience tolerance for people in general. XD

- Maybe it's just her age? Hopefully she'll grow out of it. - Eh, then there isn't much you can do other than explain the situation when it happens, or choose to not care about it at all. If the mother doesn't want to discipline her child, and would rather believe the child, then I guess that's her problem. A lot of little kids lie, or exaggerate to get their way, or avoid trouble. To them not getting what they want = someone being mean. It's like a fact of life, but unfortunately a lot of young parents don't realize that. - I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply you were rude about it, just that situations like that can lead to people thinking you're being rude depending on how you respond, and how they choose to take the response.
