Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks for hanging out with us after the show. We
always just continue and hang out a little bit longer.
Another cup of coffee.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Sam.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
When we were talking about the fact that we're retraining
a couple of our dogs, right old adult dogs, rehouse
training them because we have an old dog, the pug Piggy,
who's having accidents. She doesn't have any bladder control anymore,
so the other ones think, oh, it must be okay
to do it right here. So we're having more accidents
than I am not going to have my house mell
(00:30):
like that.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, I don't want that either, Jody, I can day
retraining drives me crazy. But she's got she does have
bladder control. We have to take her out. She's lost.
She can't hear, she can't see, she doesn't know what
she's doing. So if we don't keep her on the
schedule we're in charge of we're bathroom regimen. It happens
in the house well.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
But she has also had accidents when she was sleeping,
like so I feel like she's losing some control. But
you're right, maybe it's it's hard to read and no,
but she definitely has the special needs. So we're retraining
some of the other ones the typical great train.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
But there's a lot to know. And you seemed really curious, sam.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Is, because you said you have to take them out
up to six times a day on the leash in
the same spot in the yard.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
And that's well, that's for you would be a leash, Yeah,
I would have to yeah, yeah, then we have a
fenced in yard. But you it's it's like about six
times a day. You need to create them for a
little while and then as soon as you take them
out of the crate they go outside. You don't talk
to them too much, and you know, engage them. You
stand there and when they go then you praise. There's
(01:31):
some other stuff that's fascinating about teaching an old dog
new tricks. You guys want to know it you clean
with like enzyme based stuff and not ammonia based things.
If you if you clean it up with ammonia based things,
they think that that.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Smells like you're into them. It means that they can
be there.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Well that's interesting. Well that means to see, I'm guilty
of using wind decks for cleaning up. I need to
stop doing that.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I never use windex mister clean, but is.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
There but there's no ammonia it. Right. When they say
enzyme based, they mean the natural stuff, you know, they
mean the things that really aren't the manufactured cleaners, but
the sort of I don't know what they call those
natural like the simple green kind of things.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, if you go to a pet store, you can
find that those section of that specifically to clean that up. Also,
you're supposed to bring them to the same spot of
the yard or outside, right, because dogs get used to
doing that in one certain area.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Well, they're marking the territory.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, I guess that they are, and that going.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yes, are yours doing it while you're there? Yes, when
guys does it, it's when I'm not there. It's like
if I'm at work too long or if something like that,
that's when gus will do it. If I'm in the house,
guys won't do it.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
That's great. Well, at least you know that.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, And honestly, when you're not there, if you don't
want accidents, you could create them, but you're not supposed
to create them longer than they can hold it. Because
if a dog has an accident in their create in
their den. Yeah, it's disturbing, it's upsetting to them, and
it can probably kind of set you back on your
own or whatever. But you're supposed to make their create,
you know, a happy place, a comfortable it's not supposed
(03:05):
to be you're bad.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Get in your crate. It's not a punishment.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well, that's how we humanize. It's classic of humanization of animals.
We think of it as jail because we see bars
for them. It's a protective, very safe place for them
to I've.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Heard people say, what's so mean you put them in there?
Mean our dogs go and we have them open. They
love to get. You know.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
The funny thing about Gus is with Ellie at being
at the house, I didn't have him created Gus in months. Yeah,
and I had to create him one day last week
just because I had somebody coming over to clean and
and and I walked into the room where the crate is.
It's like he followed me, ran right in the crate.
It's like, wow, here in months.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
They are den animals. You just can't leave them in
there all the time. And some of them don't like it.
I mean they're you know, all people are different, all
dogs are different. Enough, oh five, But anyway, if you
are having to teach an old dog new tricks, just
like we are. And look, we're struggling with it because
of the time and attention, not because they're not smart
and can't do it.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
They can do it.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's to have us. They're all in the moment. And
so once you create the habit of they're in the create,
first thing they do is go out to use the
rest you know, the restroom. Then they're good.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I also read, and this is also interesting and makes
sense to me. You don't necessarily bring them right back
in right after, because they if they want to go
outside and play a little while and be outside, they're
going to hold it and not go right away because
they know they're just going to go back inside. Let
them take a walk while you're training, Let them take
a walk, let them, let them play a little while,
play fetch with them or something like that. Then go
(04:30):
back inside. And if you can do that up to
six times a day and create them and then bring
them out immediately and start, they'll get it quickly.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I mean six times a day. It's tough for anybody
who's working, though, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
True, they also say this is not fun.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
This does not sound fun like the soiled like just say,
if they peed on a peapad, bring that out to
where you want them to go, because it's that's the smell.
And if they know it's their smell, that might help
them understand, oh, this is where you want me to
do this.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
The funny thing is you're saying, you know, stay outside
and say outside and watch him when you take him outside.
Gus is actually a little self conscious about that.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
He won't do it with you standing there.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
If I'm standing there, he'll just want He'll just sit
and like look over his shoulder. I wonder if it's
like I go inside and shut the door and then
he gets up and he goes and walks and does
his stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
If either that or he's waiting for you to do something,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I should, I should show him how to do it. Yeah, right,
the same spot in the yard. Guys, Come on, here
we go.
Thanks for hanging out with us after the show. We
always just continue and hang out a little bit longer.
