As fate would have it, we're ended up with 2 puppies when we were only expecting to get 1. (Breeder is non contactable atm)
They have been with us a few days now and we are having problems that I was hoping some people would help with.
1) We have a 3 year-old daughter, and whilst she is very good - both the puppies are always trying to jump on her and eat her food. We are constently taking them away and telling them "No" when they are jumping on her (we praise them when they sit quietly and ignore her) - does anyone have any other ideas? I know that CSVs are good with children, but I have only heard this in referance to CSV adults.
2) Eating everything, except their own food
. When they are out in the garden they are eating stones, snales, grass, and the bitch is eating her own (and her brothers) faeces - but they are not eatting much of their own food (vet said not to worry until it has been a few days but I worry!)
3) Toliet training - how long does it normal take for a CSV. Our dog seems to be very stupid and doesn't get it at all yet. Our bitch was learning really well yesterday, but today she isn't getting it again
. She is alot more intellegent than her brother and often takes advantage of that when she is wrestling with him.
Thx
