Hi Mike!

I'm Jacinda from Burnaby, British Columbia and I have a 8 week and a half old miniature australian shepherd! He's a blue merle. Your puupy looks so adorable, by the way. How is the housetraining going? My puppy seems to be getting it but there's a few hit and misses along the way.

Hi Jacinda, would love to see pictures of your little guy we Dexter is will be a full size Aussie.

The house training is great we set up the bell system and he rings it every time he needs to go potty, that took around a month to pick up. We use that system because how our door is we are unable to see him standing/sitting by it, and sometimes he would come over to us and sit and stare well those could mean he's hungry or he needs to go potty.

We do have our hit and miss with him sometimes if we are busy doing something and don't hear the bell ring then he will potty inside but since we put up the bell there might have been maybe 2-3 accidents over a 2-3 month period.

Hi Daniel.

Sorry for the late reply. Nauk's growing bigger everyday. We're still trying to housetrain him and teach him the basic commands. I would love to teach him about the bell but I think maybe getting the basic commands first would be better? We're also trying to get him not to bite. Anyway, I've posted some photos of him over on my other post. Take a look!

To be honest the bell was the first thing my wife and I really worked on as of right now he knows how to Sit, Stay, Rollover and Down. I don't seem to see any pictures on your post.
