Help.....please doggie people!!!

Okay, so we have this dog (named Benjie) and he'll be 2 years old in October. So far I've never had trouble potty training my kids or my other dogs. But this guy has no idea where his "bathroom" is! He's gotten better, but he still considers the hall carpet, our back patio, and our bathrooms! I am at a loss... We take him out frequently and walk until he goes most of the time. Sometimes though he will come right back inside and do it and then eats it!!!! I am at a loss.....any suggestions???

  1. My two cents... note, I have only successfully trained one dog, our current fido!

    1. Give him breakfast and dinner at a set time each day and only allow him 30 minutes to eat.
    2. 30 minutes after breakfast and dinner, take him outside to do his business. I recommend leashing and guiding him to "the spot" you want him to do his business.
    3. After 15 minutes, if he hasn't gone potty, come back in. Don't confuse outside walking and playing with potty time. IF he has gone potty, give him a treat!
    4. Set a timer every two hours throughout the day and take him out.
    5. Midday should be playtime, not to be confused with potty time. :)

    FINALLY!!! Hang a bell at the back door. (we have a jingle bell on a shoelace suction cupped to the door). When you get ready to take him out to go potty, first lift a front paw to ring the bell. Our dog has been using her bell for more than 18 months. It travels when she stays with friends and she uses it consistently! :)

    Hope these ideas help!

    1. Thanks for the tip, Karen! I'm excited to try this...You have a great idea about the bell! He's smart enough to figure out the command "in" for his crate. He also knows "drop" if he has something he's not supposed to. Thanks again!

Quilled Horseback Rider

I have a close friend who has trusted me to create several pieces for her and this was one of them. It makes me happy to have a new challenge and this was indeed one. I used a photo given to me as a reference and quilled atop a print out of it. I have the photo cut out in my pocket protector and am quilling on top of it careful not to glue the paper to the plastic. I use straight pins to hold it together until it dries. Here I’ve taken the quilled rider and horse off of the styrofoam backing and added to a background I added of layered trees. Here’s the final piece…

I’m out of toilet paper so I wiped with them all the way y’all…🤣🤣🤣 #humorfortheday #neededalaugh #tphumor

Quilled Ballerina

Quilled Ballet,  Dancer I wanted to try something challenging and I saw a picture of a ballerina that I thought might be the one. Well, here it is....I used a combination of beehive and regular quilling. This is in honor of my daughter turning 13 today! Happy Birthday!!! Quilled Ballerina Quilled Ballerina
