DW and I - basically on a whim - went out and got 2 Shelties - 7 weeks old. Did this 2 weeks ago. What a mess we had on our hands for the past 2 weeks - even after buying training books. So yesterday, we go to Petsmart and spend $15 on a one hour "Potty Training" session with their trainer. Absolutely the best $15 we ever spent. We came home new puppy owners and could not believe how we got off to such a poor start. Just one example of the bad start - the breeder told us that the puppies would be fine self feeding - so that is what we did. They ate and crapped and ate and crapped and ate and crapped for 2 weeks straight.
After 24 hours, there has already been a dramatic turnaround in our household - we are on our way to getting our family room back and they are on their way to a rigid daily schedule and potty training experience.
We were so impressed with the trainer that we are considering bringing her in to the house for some private training sessions. Has anyone had any experience like this - is it worth it?
Also any other puppy advice is more than welcome. They really are a lot of fun! Our two cats (6 years old) are still trying to figure things out!
