laugh and learn puppy

My son just got the Laugh and learn puppy as a gift. It was new in box but he ripped it up so i threw it away. The toy was working fine for a day now the mode button on the foot doesn’t work. Its to change from ABC’s to 123’s and off. Can i just take him like that with no receipt or box to Walmart and say it isn’t working? How do i return a gift to get a new puppy?

laugh and learn puppy

I have a 12wk baby & a 3 & 4 yr old….I’ve been thinking about getting a dog for a few years now but I’ve been putting it off til the right time. I’ve never had a dog b4,,,, so, I have had my 10 wk old lab for 3 nights now and 2b honest I’m startin 2 wonder if we’re gona keep him, I just don’t have the time to toilet train him. I have plenty of time to walk him when he’s completed his jabs (2 school runs of an hour each a day & plenty of forest walks, parks ect) but I can’t take him out first & last thing coz I’m a single parent. So he needs to learn to go in one place in the garden which I can easily keep clean every day coz I’m a bit worrried about germs… both of my kids are thumb suckers… at the mo he does go out 2 do his biz outside in the garden but I was surprised 2 c that he treads in it after?! daft animal! So I am worried that he’ll track the germs all over the place… I wanted to have like a “dog toilet” for him don’t laugh! Has anyone got any ideas please!!! sacha xxx
Bad name 2 single parents? lol whatever. So, to explain a bit more, the door in my kitchen leads out to a little back porch and the back door to my back garden. He’s been going outsite to go to the loo, mainly in 1 corner of the garden (my garden is patio & gravel which makes it easier) Till today I’ve had a stairgate to my back door so he has the porch & the run of the garden all day. Then when the kids go 2 bed at 6, the gate is opened & he can come in to spend time with me, I take him for a game of fetch then he sits on my lap while I read. I go up to bed about 9 and I leave him in the kitchen with the stairgate & back door open so he goes out to use the garden for his toilet. I’ve just read all my feedback (thanx evry1 lol) and I’ve now moved him into the kitchen full time with a puppy pad on the floor so I can watch him (i spend half my life in the kitchen anyway lol) I’ve put a handful of treats on the side, baby is asleep & I’m ready & waiting lol
so, i thought I’ll keep him in the kitchen until he’s trained to pads, keep putting him on there and sayin ‘go potty’ and when e goes then give him lotsa praise & a treat. When e’s got the hang of it I’ll slowly move the pads outside. Then when e’s trained to pads e can come in the rest of the house. I’ll keep to the evening routine the same as it is now. the vet sez i can’t take im out till a week after his 2nd jab, so i cant take him 4 a walk for 3 wks yet. so is my plan gonna work?
Hi it’s me again. Just wanted to say that I built my own Dog Toilet, sounds so daft but it’s great & it works- I covered a large piece of wood with heavy plastic & stapled it on & laid this on the garden. I sunk 4 posts in2 the soil at each corner & screwed a piece of wood onto the top of the posts on each corner (to keep the rain off). I’ve been taking Angel out there loads & he’s really got the hang of it !!! It’s really easy to clean, I just scoop & mop heheh He can’t come out for walks yet coz he hasn’t finished his vacc’s so when we go out I’ve been leaving the back door open & he just goes out & uses his throne & comes back in heehee The only time he has an accident in the house is if I’ve left the door closed so he obviously can’t hold it yet but he’d rather go outside. What a fab pup :D

laugh and learn puppy

I’m 13 years old and I’m getting a puppy in 7 weeks time. It is a boxer puppy. We haven’t prepared or anything yet because we have over almost 2m to do so but I feel like now is the best time to get ready for him because it will be hectic when i get him. What can I do to prepare? I havent got anything ready at the moment so what should i buy for Him? My house is a bit messy and dirty at the mement so what can I do to clean to puppy proofe my house? I dont want him to die of eating something! And, i have a 12 year old brothr who I REALLY hate and i dont want him to hurt my puppy like he does to our 7 month old kitten! What can I say to Nathan to make him learn that it is a living thing and that he can’t hurt our pets? mom tells him off when he hurts the cat but he just keeps doing it anyway and dad doesn’t care he just laughs. dont think my family is bad though!

thanks

laugh and learn puppy

We just got a new pug puppy. (only 7 weeks old) My daughter seems to really like the puppy and laughs when she’s being chased by her. But my daughter (almost 19 months) is obviously still learning how to play correctly with the puppy.
At first my daughter was really gentle. Lightly petting (not patting) the puppy. We praised her for being gentle. But now she’s patting and grabbing the puppy by the ear and once she even pushed the puppy out of the way. (of course we kind of expect this behavior are right there to make sure no one gets hurt) I tell my daughter ‘no’ when she’s being too rough and try to show her the correct way to play, but I think she’s getting confused. She stops what she’s doing and sometimes will get upset or just looks confused and walks away. How do I teach her to be gentle without discouraging her to play with the puppy all together? My daughter has been a little slow with the talking. She can’t really tell us how she’s feeling. But I think she does mostly understand what we tell her. I just need a better way of teaching her. Any suggestions?
