Added on April 4, 2009, 12:44 pm what food is ur housemate feeding the poor pup? The dog might be sensitive to dog food. It can also be of many other reasons as well. Does your housemate trim the dog's nails?

well what happened was that when my silky was about 6 months old, the dog trainer told me that my silky is too young to be trained and they wont understand when you meant business. This is my first time having a pet and I really didnt know what to do

Well nobody would be at home thats why we had to cage him. I felt really sorry for him too.

wahlaoeh...what kind of a dog trainer is that? I start training my silky when I got her at 2 months old. The younger he/she is, the easier it is to train before the bad behaviours turn into habits.

so basically your silky is alone at home everyday, and you only accompany him at night? that must be really boring for him. Maybe you can consider getting another one to keep him company..

well yeah haha. the trainer was recommended to me by an un-close friend on mine who is a breeder and she gave me a contact (the trainer), telling me that he is really good and he train all her dogs. So i kinda became her follower but super blindly and my silky isnt really that obedient after the training. He told me rm300 including obedience training and house-breaking. My silky was house broken at all and is slightly obedient.

My silky likes to jump and that irritates me alot. Even after a stern NO, he still jumps and his paws are up in the air like wanna attack me! Yeah, I know he just wants to play and yeah he is dang bored. My parents are wouldnt want another pet in the house and they told me 1 is enough.

I wanna bring my silky to some places where I can get him to socialize and training for him. Help?

go to www.puppy.com.my. They offer very affordable and effective dog trainings and socialization sessions.

Younger pup is easier to be trained. My silky was 1.5 years old when I got her, by then the behavior and whatever bad or good habits already set in. Training her really needs time and patience. I was surprised that she was not trained on house breaking. After some smacking and scolding, she learnt and now she will go to the garden to do her business. I had my JRT when he was 3 months old and by the 3rd day with us, he already knew where his 'jamban' is. So the difference is here between young pup and the old one.

you can house train your pet dog by yourself. Just spend more time google for info from forums to learn. You can get info from books as well. Patience and time is all you need to train a dog.

yeah normally silky's fur will grow till knee level only compared to yorkshire's.

Belle is up for adoption again, please checkout the adoption thread.

Nice silky, but why are you charging RM400 if you wanted someone to ADOPT your dog? Correct me if i'm wrong, but it kinda show that you as her current owner, is not willing to spend the money on her, and now you wanted the new owner to compensate for your losses/investment on Belle.

No offense, but this is what I can see from your post.

Yes u r right. I'm kinda feel that the new owner should at least bear part of the cost. It's a small amount of adoption / medical fee / compared to what I've paid. Don't forget, I'm giving a new cage as well, so is that too much to ask? I just feel that people will not appreciate much if what they get is free. So should I put dog for sell then? Btw, just to add on, the word compensate and not willing is kinda offensive to me.. If I'm not willing I wouldn't have taken her in the 1st place. It's just that me and my wife's working hours do not allow us to take care another dog, so we have to let her go. Since u r so concern, r u interested? I'm willing to give u a discount.

Well, if you're not willing to spend the money on her, then perhaps you should not have adopted her from the previous owner in the first place. Whether they are bought, or found, or adopted, dogs are meant to be companions for life.

For example, if you're selling off a car, you won't charge the new owner all the expenses that you have invested, rite? (eg. car washes, change tires, change oil etc.) I believe this is not the right attitude.

I feel that money should not be your main concern here, instead you should be putting priority into ensuring that Belle's future owner is a responsible and dog-caring person. You should ensure that he/she will not adopt Belle for the fun or the trend of it, then send her off to another home when they're bored with it, or found out they don't have the time for them (which is one of the most common excuses used).

sound reasonable
