OOO and did I mention she is a unmeritorious sock thief?

Laser Pointers! I didn't think about trying that but judging from her personality I can see she'd love that too =) Boomer also loves car rides. My friends were telling me stories about other dogs getting car sick and so I was a little worried, but she was great. She'd sit and watch the window like it was TV. Now she gets my windows all slobbery by pressing her face up against the glass - which is annoying but what can you do.

Boomer got over her potty training issues a few months ago - thankfully we have a dedicated place for her in the backyard so it's a consistent location. At the tail end of potty training she was still having accidents, though more and more infrequently - maybe once every few weeks. She definitely understood that it's preferred to go outside but doesn't quite see that going inside is a major no no. So one time when I caught her red handed I just got "furious" and grabbed her, showed her the accident, yelled no and threw her into the dark bathroom and slammed the door. Then I just scared the shit out of her by yelling some more. I felt really bad and but I know it had to be done. After a few minutes i let her out and consoled her and she never had an accident since.

They say that negative reinforcement and punishment is a bad thing but it could be a useful tool, especially since you've tried everything else. If she is as smart as i think she is, she should know what to do, you just need one shock moment to really drive the lesson home. Not saying it would work for Tobee but that's how I got over the last hump. Good luck!
