[nagdu] going off leash

[Hannah Chadwick]

Thank you Lori. I live in a house and yes I'm definitely aware of the
problem of not knowing where to pick up after her.

Hi Hannah,

When you take Princess out to releave her, before you have her do her
business, you might want to take her for a short walk . By taking Princess
for a short walk, this might just be what she needs to get her to go pee and
poop. Some dogs need to be stimulated to  go and a walk can help with
getting her to go. Also always keep Princess on leash when outside with her.
Because if you don't have Princess on leash, she can take off and have free
run of the area and since Princess and you are a new team you're still in
the bonding stages and she might not come back to you when you call her if
she's off leash. Do you live in a apartment complex or a house? Also, if you
took Princess off leash and she pooped, how would you know where to pick up
after she goes?  Also, make sure you keep her on leash next to you or in a
crate or on tie down until you can get this issue with Princess's releaving
bahits under control. You got to establish the rules, limits and boundries
for Princess and let her know that you'r the pack leader and why she isn't.
Take care.

Lori and theGipper
