Potty Traing

Hey! This potty-training technique might be too much for some people, but this is a great way to for your dog to have plenty of opportunities to do his/her business in the right place! Take your puppy outside to do his/her business. If they do, make a big fuss over them. If they don't, simply bring them inside. Whether they go or not, set a timer for 20 minutes. When the timer goes off, take them outside again. Repeat. The next day, day, set the timer for 30 minutes. Day after that, set the timer for 45 minutes. Then an hour. Keeping doing it until they are completely potty-trained(if they can't do 30 minutes, do 20 minutes until they can). This is a time consuming technique way to do it, as you can imagine. It works, but if you are occupied during the day, there are many other ways to potty-train your dog. Good luck!

Lhasa Apso

The Lhasa Apso is a cute, loving, lapdog. The Lhasa Apso is a non-sporting dog that has a long coat that comes in a variety of colors. This dog is 12-18 pounds and requires socialization as a puppy, as it was a guard dog in monastaries in Tibet. This little dog is barky and can be hard to house train. The Lhasa Aspo doesn't naturally love water. But it can be trained to like water as the long coat will need regular bathing and brushing. Overall, the Lhasa Apso is a great little dog that is not to tiny and just the perfect size for a lapdog. The Lhasa Apso is has a long life, and it can live well in it's 20's! The oldest Lhasa Apso was 28 years!

The poor dogs are kept in cages for their entire life, which helps spread disease They NEVER touch grass or solid ground for the whole time they are at the Mill The dogs die of the heat in the summer and freeze in the winter The females are bred over and over until they can't reproduce any more. After that they are usually killed or sold to laboratories for experiments Dog food is bought by the truckload. Sometimes it is made of the sweepings from the floor(That is SOOOOO gross.) About 3,500 petstores in the US sell puppies from Puppy Mills Petstores lie about where the puppies came from. They will tell you that the puppies came from local or quality breeders. Ask to see the paperwork and you can find out where they really came from. Please, help us shut down Puppy Mills. For more Facts, go to www.prisonersofgreed.org/  for more information.
