I am the very proud owner of an 11-week old Shih Tzu cross (crossed with Bichon, Lhaso Apso, and Chihuahua. I have not had a canine in my home for almost 20 years, and have never had the priviledge of actually training a pet. I've always had my wonderful cats. So dogs and puppy training is all very new to me.
I don't necessarily have any one question right now, since we're dealing with house-training, barking while confined, biting when playing, walking on a leash (sometimes refuses to walk, so I have to carry her - a small feat when I have to manouver a double stroller with one hand), not coming when called... to name a few.
What I'd love is to find a website that gives good tips and advice on training and raising puppies. I know there are tons out there, and I've visited hundreds of them over the last few days - alot are not very helpful. I'd like to find one or two reliable and informative websites to refer to when I have an issue as they arise.
Thanks to anyone who helps me out!
