Every dog is a little different. My first dog I never had to use more than 40-50 to get her halling to me. This one is a little different. I knew she was feeling pressure around 40, but I have to...

2. would labs fit in this thing? Seems small.

How have you used retraint in FF? This is a big part about how Evan does stuff. Remember the CC to here and using the light pole?

He does a smilar thing with FF to hammer the nail home.

I had the other thread but this hits home. When we first got her we had bedding. I think she could get away with peeing and not feel it.

Not sure if this is how our problem started.

yep she is in the crate a lot. We let her in there even when we are home.

It is wierd first dog was so much easier, this one has been difficult.

She would do it in a really small crate, she grew out of it and is now in a full size crate. She is a stuborn one but I think she will be a good one.

Meredith I actually go to the same vet as you in Adel. I know they ran a urinalousis and it came back negative, not sure if they checked Kidney function.
