Chula Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Our window shades are nearly always pulled because we are so close to our neighbors. Today I pulled up the blinds on the back door. Chula has been sitting there for an hour. I got to drink a cocktail on the couch in peace!

Chula Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 It is worth the chance of nosey neighbors to keep her occupied for awhile. I also just got to go to the potty without her scratching at the door. It's a miracle!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I seriously almost cried when I got 30 seconds alone in the bathroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chula Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Now the true test. Can I get ice out of the freezer without a little puppy face appearing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyGuerl Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I have a sliding glass back door that opens up to our back yard then woods..My two puppies love to sit and watch the birds land in the yard and squirrels : ) its fascinating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simhauu Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 The older they get, the longer they look out the window. I took Ghost for a 1,5 hour long scooter ride and he came home and immediately went for the window... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. Also got her a food dispenser game. She's working at it - and resource guarding it. Weirdo. Only thing she guards is kibble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleLuka Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Luka loves looking out the window.

lebe03 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Only way to keep Deifer busy for a couple of minutes is when he's eating. Unfortunately we don't have any windows that a low enough for him to be able to see out of but he does like sitting by the side gate watching the world go by although he needs to be supervised in the garden as he's only a puppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I dont like mine coming into the bathroom with me they try stick their head down the toilet lol Skye will sit and "guard" looking out the window for hours on end that keeps her happy Shadow will curl up and sleep generally lol But i remember the days your going through all to well! You WILL probably do it again as i was mad and did it again then wondered why!! But puppies are so cute but they do test you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 There is Nikko looking out the window. It is his morning ritual! It's so cute! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Aw so cute. I truly can't believe the difference. I am eating a bagel and drinking coffee and she is quiet and calm. I hope this is a long term thing!! I feel like I found my sanity. Unfortunately poor thing was sick from the vacs during the night. Every time she goes to the vet later that night she has tummy issues. At least she cried to go out so the mess was outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chula Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 She only needed one timeout this morning when she wouldn't quit nipping after all other methods were exhausted.:-) Love the pics of doggies in the window! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 For the nipping, one of my trainers said to put your hand in the back of their mouth and they won't like it, and one said to put your thumb on the roof of their mouth and they don't like the feeling. I tried both of those and it seemed to work a little. I also tried spraying my hand with the bitter apple spray and that worked until it wore off LOL. Or sprinkle cayenne pepper on your hand. Just don't forget and rub your eyes or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chula Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 What do you think they look at all day? I tried looking out the door the direction she was looking, and all I saw was patio furniture and a BBQ grill. I also moved her crate to in front of the door window so she can see outside while she's stuck in there. I'm hoping it will keep her quieter during the day. There is a fence there so she can't see people or anything walk by, and she hasn't made a peep while sitting there in the evening. My neighbor told me she cries when we are gone, which makes me feel bad for him since he's kind of an old dude and doesn't leave the house much. She must not cry all day because she always quiet when I walk up the house - unless she knows I"m coming and shuts up. I should offer to pay him to come keep her company.

Chula Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Uh oh, now I Googled and there are people who say DON'T put the crate by the window because it will just frustrate the dog and cause barking. Sigh. Seems I can never do anything right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuramaxDiesel Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Uh oh, now I Googled and there are people who say DON'T put the crate by the window because it will just frustrate the dog and cause barking. Sigh. Seems I can never do anything right. Our Diesel's crate is right by the window... he doesn't bark unless a vehicle he doesn't recognize pulls in the driveway. There's even a stray cat that sits at that window and meows and Diesel just lays there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 That gives me hope! I will try to stand outside when I check on her at lunch and see if I can hear her crying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chula Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I went home to check on her at lunch and I could see through the backdoor that she was ZONKED OUT in her crate, squished up against the part that was closest to the window and the sunlight. I hope she is happier now being able to see daylight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
