Zoe's new trick and Neeko's bad habit

So, Zoe has a new trick.

I came home last night to a chewed up plastic bowl and chewed zip lock bags. I questioned Billy about it and he said Zoe knows how to open the Lazy Susan in the kitchen (where we keep the dog treats). He watched her do it again when he was home. Boy isn't she talented??? Guess we need to keep the kitchen gate up when we are not home.

Neeko has a very very bad habit. Before I go into it, I am TRYING to remember she has lived in a hotel her whole life with some people who did not live in reality.

I take the little girl out to potty - she goes. But then I bring her in, and she proceeds to potty (#1 and #2) on our bed! Last night, she did both outside. I then put her in her safe room to get Maddie situated, go back to the room and she did #1 and #2 on the bed!

Solution, more crate time - not allowed in the bedroom ? Even attended she urinated on the master bed a few times. A friend said she might be marking. Heck I do not know but it has to stop.

I will ask our trainer tonight about it during Neeko's class...

Ahhhhh the joys of puppy hood!

Zoe is so cute. Maybe it is time to get some baby proof latches.

She probaply has never been potty trained. So 100% supervision sounds like the best plan. Have fun at class.

I have baby proof latches on all my low cupboards in my house. Pretty easy to install and they could be a lifesaver since that's where I keep all the cleaning supplies.

Neeko sounds like she hasn't been potty trained! Time for some c/t and close supervision. That's what I am doing with sadie these days!
