Thanks for the advice! Now I just have to teach my Mom and sister that they need to pretend like it's really hurting them when Peanut nibbles on them. Those little teeth won't be so cute when his jaw gets a little stronger! pyrless, thanks! We went through a ton of names once I had decided to get him, but when I said Peanut, everybody went for it! Peanut Buddy. I'm a total Mommy with him. I've been calling for checkups with him at Pee-School. Apparantly today he's been trying to play with a giant Kong! Even the little puppy Kong we have at home is too big for him, so it must be a kick to see him try to tackle one as big as he is!

I enrolled my 11-week old yorkie, Peanut, in puppy pee-school (officially Puppy Potty Training Program, put I like Pee-School better . :wink: ). He had his first day yesterday. He came home and I was playing with him on the floor, and he has started to mouth big time, I guess from playing with other dogs agan! I had just gotten him to quit, too. It's hard to do, because my Mom and sister will say "Ouch!" if he bites on them, but they don't jerk their hand away, so they just keep saying "Ouch, ouch, ouch..." while letting him chew away on their hands! Does anyone have any other advice for stopping mouthing, other than Off/Ouch method, where you say Off if they start looking like they're going to attack your hand, or Ouch if they use their teeth? Also, and this is the part I'm [i]really[/i] not happy with, while I was playing on the floor with him, Peanut mounted my arm and started humping. :-? Apparently something else he learned from the big kids at school. Any good advice for this either? Other than that, Puppy Pee-School is going very well. When I called in to check up on him yesterday morning, he was playing with a big golden retriever. And apparently there's an older big dog that rests a lot on her blanket because of arthritis, and Peanut was sneaking up to curl up with her. Awwww! It's great for him to be able to get out and socialize with all those different kinds of dogs. Also, I'm going to enroll him in Puppy Kindergarten at the Community College here in town.

Hi! I am moving into a brand new condo, with brand new carpet, and as I've been moving stuff in, I've noticed 5 or 6 dead houseflies on the carpet. Since I'm finally in a place where I can have a dog, I ran right out and bought a puppy that will be coming home with me next weekend, after all the moving is done, so the poor guy (a yorkie) won't be too stressed. So, my question is, cab teeny puppies and new carpets coexist? I don't want to gas out Peanut. Does anybody know what I should do? Maybe steam clean, or just run a fan with all the windows open to get some fresh air in? Thanks so much for any help you can give me! Heather
