The beginning of her rebellious stage

Amber is in her 4th month and 2nd week now, she has been pretty obedient between her 3rd and 4th month. However she started to rebel a few days ago. Well...just a week ago she was still very attentive and so much less chewing. Now all her bad habit seems to like coming back, and even start to try her boundaries.

Last Sunday, 08.04.2012, she pulled the pee pad out of her pee tray and she would rip the pee pad and newspaper all over her playpen, once in the morning (when we woke up) and once at night (after we came home from movie). This behavior has been consisting for 3 days as we were pretty busy and unable to monitor her. Since we are free from today onward, we are going to "correct" this behavior from now on. All we did is to stop her when she's trying to bite or paw the pee tray, so far so good, nothing happened today. Just need to maintain the consistency and I'm sure this behavior will be corrected in no time :)

Just remember, ALL THESE behaviors and actions are NORMAL, Amber has reached her rebellious stage which is around puppy's 4th month - 6th month. All we need is to give her a little space and a lot of patience.

He already has a 1 year Male Yorkshire Terrier so he was looking for another breed to accompany his Yorkshire. The farm was really hard to get to if you do not drive a car, unless you don't mind calling a cab. It's in the deepest part of the road and there ain't any buses around. When we first went to the first shop at farmway 02, we met a very stuck-up pet owner. Very "hao lian(proud)" with his puppies and even said all his prices are very CNY, all ended with $xx88 which means good luck for the Chinese people. We saw a pretty red toy poodle but it was sold, so the shop owner told us to buy his other puppies instead since all his puppies are so-called "high quality". I think that shop was kinda overpriced for every puppy that he quoted. One of the pups that he was selling, poodle was just besides it, seek...
