Re: booka

I just had a sweet idea. one of my buddies trained his bichon to ring a bell hanging from their front door when she had to go outside... being a small dog that's fine. I don't want the door all scratched up since pup is going to be much larger than his. I'm totally going to train this pup to ring a wireless doorbell kit when she wants to go outside. I found one for 13 bucks. this is going to be sweet :lol:

Re: booka

Genius! Let me know how that works out and how you train her to do that. Cute dog BTW.

Re: booka

I bought that wireless set, took the buzzer and used the double-stick tape they provided and stuck in on a piece of metal about 3"x5" or something, and placed it button-side down in the corner by the door. it's basically just a pedal at my front door that sounds a bell when pressed. since my house is a bilevel, my front door is behind my living room and down some stairs... this would be the perfect way to know when to let the dog out.

plus it'd be a cool trick. :lol:

Re: booka

LOL! That's one of the best ideas you've ever had Adam. Just beware of animal payback though ;)

Btw, sweet name for a cute pup. I'm not really a labrador fan, but they're great with kids so you'll be fine ;)

In a few months I'm finally getting myself a dog too. Probably a Bouvier des Flandres (Flemish Cow Dog, local breed). As big as a sheep (weighs up to 56kg (125 pound), very loyal and gentle towards his owner/family but a hell of a vicious bitch towards threats. Love it!

That's more than enough. Btw, I like that rough look on a dog.

Re: booka

I'm already getting burnt out :S

this puppy is waking me every 60-90 minutes at night to piss or shit, and is constant babysitting. This is the fourth puppy I've pottytrained in the past 2 years... but I didn't realize I always had a roommate to help me with them. I can't wait until her bladder lets me sleep.
