Wow! Thanks Tiffany! I really appreciate the time you took to write that. :) Yes we will definitely crate train. We are also going to take obedience classes, but I'm pretty sure that we cannot really afford it until after Christmas. ;) You have given me more than enough information to get me started!

They ususally don't recommend obedience training at 10 weeks anyways - they need to be a little bit more mature before you start. Most places have recommendations for ages. But you can do plenty of training - sit, down, stay, etc. without obedience, luckily!

Half poodle half maltese is what we had growing up. She was great and never shed. She was toy-sized but her litter mates were all medium sized dogs. They have great temperment. She was also very smart, loved kids and playing with cats. Her best friend was an orange tabby. lol

With such a young, smart dog, you may well find that it's more about training you, and the family, than the dog, strictly speaking! :D hehehe. My husband and I "conference" on our training consistency and technique (within the bounds of what we know) all the time. (With a family, I find this is a good idea - you can see what works for other people, where the family may be sending mixed signals, and generally train more efficiently. Turns out that our slightly different methods for training controlled walking were making things go more slowly than they needed to. I needed to be firmer in my physical corrections (for walks, he needs strong ones, for other things, not so much), and he started using "stop and stand like a tree" along with the physical correction for pulling. This can be a great way to remove what the dog wants (to go forward and explore something interesting).)

Do let us know how things are going with the puppy, share pics and all that! :) (Open Original Shared Link)

(I can sneak in a few questions to the trainer we're working with if they're remotely close to something Neo might do too. ;) )

Congratulations! There is nothing like a puppy! Our dog Petunia (the chihuahua) is about 7 months now and the picture-taking has finally slowed down. ;) My husband made fun of me because I must have had several hundred of her younger days. She's just so darn cute.

Thanks for the training info, tarnalberry, very good for reinforcing what we've been working on too. I am hoping to get Petunia in another class after the holidays, but you are right, Jenny, it is pricey. :( Petunia was really too young, looking back, to do some of the things they told us in Puppy class, but now I think things would go better.

Good luck potty training! I'm sure it will go great. :)

Ok... Let me chime in.. Pugs are going to be a good choice for kids and other animals. Also if you need a hypoallergenic the Bichon Frise is great for families..Good Luck!!

Thank you! We love him so much! The breeder named him Ty, and we did not change it. He already knew his name, and we could not decide on a better one.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
