We have added to our already overflowing dog pack :)
My sister's roommate, Xochie, got a puggle named Wesley from a pet store a couple of months ago. He's been living with them in their apartment in Fullerton since then, though last week he was evicted because he has ruined their carpet by pottying inside :(
Xochie is from Northern California and won't be going back home until the end of the term in May. Her parents have dogs and will take Wesley when Xochie brings him, but that isn't til May so we will be watching him until then.
I am WAAAAAAY excited!!!
When he got here on Friday, I could tell that he was spoiled rotten! He bites, pottys wherever he wants, takes what he wants, etc.
Oh boy did I fix that fast! With dogs, showing that you are the one in charge is key to getting them to do what you ask. So first thing, I didn't put up with anything he tried. He would try to bite me, I would put him on his back and hold him there until he stopped growling at me and gave up. He actually bit me so hard once that he gave me bruises from his teeth. It really hurt and when I put him on his back, I growled at him hardcore! He immediately stopped growling and gave up. I felt great. I knew that I had won.
Since that very first day he has not peed inside, though he will still try to bite occasionally, it is a lot less than it was originally. Go Team Brown!
