I have a wonderful 11 week old Brittany pup named Lightning.

I have been training her for bird hunting, using the book Gun Dog by Richard A. Wolters. I have had her 2 1/2 weeks, and she will come, sit,sort of stay, retrieve, and point at the wing on a string, and hold that point for up to 30 seconds, before rushing in. She loves this game. This is all great for a young puppy. The only problem we are having is she cant go the whole night with out pooping or peeing, even in her crate. She will even sneak into an empty room to go if no one is looking. She doesnt really give much warning before she goes. She get a little ansey, but you have to be watching to catch her. She understands the word NO very well. Any suggestions? Thanks.....

I am new to this board. I am competing in Junior Showmanhsip with my longcoat CHihuahua but my true love is Britts! I am looking for a Brittany to handle in JUniors and possibly Conformation. I live in Maryland so anyone in there area with a Britt, give me a reply! I can not own the dog or keep it in my home, but a co-ownership would work out great.

I have just started to compete in Juniors so I am not as experienced or good at handling as kids who have been doing it for years! But I am dedicated to the training and willing to do whatever is neccesary for the dog. Thanks!

of epilepsy, AKC, in the Midwest. We are near St. Louis, Missouri. Have 1 older Britt now and a lab that is failing (congestive heart

failure) at 13 years of age. Dont care on color. Prefer orange/white. Please advise if you have a litter on the way. Thanks.

still is energetic. Sounds to me like your dog has decided hes boss and will do what he darn well pleases. Definitely get him to

obedience. Time for serious corrections with choke chain collar and leash. I have used tabasco on the tongue for SERIOUS bad behaviours.

After a couple of shots of that, they just need to see the bottle to know you mean business. Also, a spray bottle of water in the face works

to get attention. Sounds to me like you have a bright dog that is probably bored - time for more exercise, interactive play with you, treat rewards

for good activities. 99% of the problems with dogs result from our inability to properly train them and become the alpha dog in the pack to them.

It is critical that you get the message through that you are boss. I now have a britt who is very sensitive. My husband was more severe with he

Dh was ready to ship him back to the breeder yesterday after a particularly bad day. Between getting into the garbage, getting things off a spare bed and destroying them, sneaking into the basement to poop....well, it just was a bad day.

Our other dog is a 8yo chocolate lab and we are definitely learning the differences between the breeds! LOL But we are looking for suggestions from people with more experience. What can we do to make him learn that no means no, and destroying things are forbidden. He has enough chewies and his own toys to teethe on; I dont think thats the problem. I think he enjoys being naughty.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
