Crate the pup- it's really the safest place for her.
As far as dedicating in the house... IMHO, I think it's disgusting and nothing else can I say and still be nice about that topic! Training- petco, petsmart... Google search! Some doggy day cares or kennels offer training classes. Check with your local community college they might offer something. As far as the alpha- can't help you there, Wyatt knows who his boss is! However he is very protective of me around new people. With that being said.... You need to learn who the moderators are, rules of the forum and your place here. You CAN NOT walk into a forum and feel you own the place! Therefore asking for "help" and when given great advice like crating or a dog walker, or any advice people posted about and then disrespecting them is uncalled for! And so what if someone is a SAH mom... Do their opinions then not matter? You pretty much asked for people thoughts/opinions. It is a fact a 6-8 month old pup can't and shouldn't got that long without going potty. You try it one day and see how you like it! For kitas anxiety try a thunder shirt. Worked wonders for Wyatt and there's a 45 day return policy on them if you find that it's not working.... Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate all the tips and training advice you've given me.
In reference to the rest of it. I didn't say anything about stay at home moms, another user did that is clearly not me and you all seem to mistake her words for mine. and "Knowing my place" I don't act like a run the place, everyone else just seems to bash me because i'm new and "not experienced" in their eyes... I HATE that I have to explain that I don't want to hear this "life advice" over and over and over again. I clearly don't care who's been here the longest on the boxer forum or who gives the most advice, that means nothing to me. I just simply asked for training tips that is all. This is clearly a waste of my time. And I'm glad this is all a joke to most of you and a form of entertainment so I hope your finished with your beer and popcorn because Congrats Boxer Mom Blog Bullys. I'm done. Quote:

When taking on a second dog, especially when the first one does have a few things left to be hammered out, it can be a total hassle.
Patience is the key to it all. If you cannot be patient with those helping, how patient can you be with a dog who can't speak English? Sounds like one of the two of you who work needs to take some time off to work on getting everything how it needs to be and setting up a schedule. If that means the closest person comes home for a lunch break, then so be it. If it means you need to hire the neighborhood teen who is trying to make a few bucks to come play with them for an hour or two in the middle of the day, sweet. But this is going to take a lot of time, and a ton of effort. All parties (you, your significant other, the dogs, and outside help in the form of support, trainers, and more) NEED to work together to make sure things go smoothly. EVERYBODY has to be on the same page, because if somebody switches it up and something happens, it can revert everything you have once done. I too agree that there is no way such a young pup can hold it that long. Do they have access to the back yard?

Just leave and don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.

And I think everybody has had a time here on the forums where somebody either gave advice they didn't want, or said something in a way that rubbed us the wrong way. That tends to happen in all sorts of forums. The good news is, the more you read what certain people write, and learn how they tend to type/talk/flow, the more you understand from them.

Here's Jessika's latest contribution, sent via private message:

Jessika, it's obvious that you and kgast are one in the same person. No one joins a forum and, at the same exact moment they join, jumps needlessly to the defense of a total stranger. I gave advice when it was asked for. If your alter ego would've read my post, it's right there in black and white, you just didn't like the way it was delivered. I even suggested NILF training, but apparently you missed that part completely as well. It's actually very helpful and highly recommended by a lot of people here on the forum.

My baby is only 8 months tomorrow and just graduated from petco's puppy classes last night. It was a rough road... He is very stubborn!!! I've learned positive reinforcement and treat based training worked best for him, others might say differently. I know 7:30 is super early in the morning but IF possible (not always will work) try a quick walk, even if down the street. But I strongly suggest crating the pup so she doesn't get into anything that would make her sick or possibly die:-( we really are a good community, it's just some people get rubbed the wrong way on certain topics. We all love our "babies" and only want the best. I can only tell you what worked for me. I have learned alot from the forum since this is my first boxer. My recent ex wanted one ( had them his whole life) we got one and a few months later we split I took the dog. So I'm still learning. Everyone on here is knowledgable in their own ways. Some with training, some with food, some with holistic care etc. please take whatever negativity you got from comments ( mine included) with a grain of salt! With that being said... Welcome to the forum, hope you stay! Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

I am NOT the same person as this poor woman you all are beating up on. AT ALL. Yes, I emailed you direct b/c I did not want to keep junking up her thread with negative stuff about me.
I joined TODAY, I saw her thread. I was like WOW this is not somewhere I want to be. Save your conspiracy theories and eat some pie. All I want is OUT and away from your craziness. Quote:
