Hi Amber.. Santia's response is great! Also, for the outside munching, you can try implementing the "leave it" command when you see Gypsy eating stuff.. Keep lots of treats on hand so when she stops...

The only reason I have the pee pads in the big cage is when we go to the grocery store or shopping or wherever it is a quick cleanup. Plus, Gypsy shreds any type of paper she can get her mouth on!!...

Puppies are totally different than a 6 month old, again especially with one so young. Was there a reason the breeder let her go at 7 weeks? At this young age she won't tell you when she needs to go...

I know can you believe it!!! I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that we have a 12 year old dachshund. I don't know??? She is in her crate right beside him. I don't know but I am just glad...
