You can look through here for free puppies, there usually are some there , but the “flaggers” try to get the free adds removed for nothing, but you can still look through, and when you find some, write the contact information quickly. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/pet/

I start housetraining my pups as soon as they are relatively mobile and have their eyes open (about 3 weeks). For years I used a litterbox, now I use puppy pads (the litter used to get stuck to the puppy blankets and strewn through the house). I’ve had great success. A lot of the training seems to be in noticing when the pups “look” like they have to go… which of course means I have to be actually spending time watching pups….
Today I stumbled across this http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070827/ap_o… and it talks about potty training very young infants. The concept seems very similar to my puppy training.
Do you think more people would be successful housetraining their dogs if they used the same principles as potty training kids?

my 7wk old chow-lab puppy is having a lot of accidents. my other dog is a little older(6 months) and is free 2 roam around, but while crate traing, the other one has to stay in his crate.i feel bad and have thought about getting his diapers so he can roam with the older one. but hes in the process of house-braeking and i dont know how i can use diapers and still renforce using the bathroom outside. should i get the diapers and if so how do i discipline him when he uses them
