Finnaly I have my dog

Yesterday it was the happiest day of my life. I bought a dog. I have got a baby female doggy. It is a Deutscher Schaferhund (German Shepherd) and she is 2 and half months.

After two days I realized what it means to have a dog.
Uf... it's not so simple as I thought. I am exhausted.
From morning to evening I struggled with this puppy-girl to teach her where is she allowed to do her needs. I tried to teach her to do it outdoors, but I had no luck because she cannot concentrate with all things around her: the snow, the kids, the community dogs who don't let her alone a little bit..bad dogs
It took me 2 days and some books to find the optimal solution. Because I cannot stay all day long with her outside with the hope she will do her needs, I decided to make her space on the balcony. She stays with us in the flat but when the time to do pee comes (a lot oftimes a day), we take her on the balcony for few minutes. I got lucky because she learned very fast what she has to do there. It is very cold outside (-2 degrees C) and I would not want to make her to stay there too long.


How to teach your puppy to do pee in the balcony or somewhere else (at your choice and convenience)? It's simple. Let the dog free to do his needs where he wants. Put a newspaper where he did his needs, next time he will do on the newspaper because he will smell the place where he did the first time. Then take the dirty newspaper in the balcony, for example. After a nap, playing or after the puppy eats, take him in the balcony and let him there to smell and to do. Do this till your dog learn to go alone to the place or till you think is the moment to take your dog outside.
