Before reading this please know the reason I have purchased this puppy even though there are quite a bit of reasons why i shouldn’t.
1) In Cambodia the breeders aren’t very… ermm…. educated– or they just dont care. As puppies, dogs here are weened from their mothers at 4 weeks of age (which of course is normal) BUT they are then locked up in a cage until purchase which usually, for most puppies, is either never or within their puppy hours (born till ~1 year).
2) The people who inhabit here treat the dogs like shit (sorry for the bad language) They are fed scraps off the owner’s table after theyre finished and are left outside with a few other dogs. (as you read this you will realize that there are a few of those dogs that have wandered to our home) Also the dogs stink and have never been bathed before. They are usually a mass mix of breeds and the result is a black mix which we call here "Cambodian Dogs"
3) As I was driving i noticed that a few purebred german shepard puppies were being sold and they were locked up in cages and the place stank quite a bit. I felt bad and ended up purchasing one of them. At the moment i am attempting to give my new puppy the best home i can possible give it. I realize I’m not really 100% qualified to be a "good" dog owner but I just couldnt bare seeing this puppy taken in by some dog abuser of sort >.<. Now I’m trying my best to do some research on puppy care and whatnot. I have purchased all the basic things for a puppy (dried puppy food w/ extra protein and vitamins and whatnot as i read that puppies need puppy food and shouldn’t just be given normal adult dog food. I looked for a vet and got my puppy shots then I found out that she had fleas so i bought some flea shampoo and the fleas seem to be gone. For the next month my life here will be very busy for I am actually on vacation here. (I’m for LA) but in about 6 monthes I will live here permanently and will be able to tend to my dog’s every need. At the moment I am trying to gather as much information as possible so I can inform the people that will be helping me take care of my puppy in my absence.

Now that you know the situation– heres some things that i have problems with–

intro:
German Shepard puppy purchased at 2 1/2 months old and is currently 3 months old. Need assistance in potty training and habit breaking.

Details:
My puppy’s name is Tatora. She has a lotta bad habits and shes not potty trained. Its really hard for me to potty train her for I am currently living in Cambodia and there are a lot of special conditions that make things hard for me and my puppy.

I am only home during the evening for about two hours and in the afternoon for about two hours for i am quite busy. I make the most of my time with my puppy and she gets really excited right when i enter our gate. :p I realize that I need to be there more and whatnot but that’s not necessarily possible. Although I am hardly home, we have 5 maids that live at our house and they do whatever we ask of them. What should i tell them to do to ensure that my puppy is potty trained?

Also another thing is that I want to break a few of my puppy’s habits. One thing is that she always play bites and its getting really annoying. Another is her bathing habits, every time she’s given a bath, she gets really scared and starts banging around the bathtub. She begins to hurt herself trying to get out of the bathroom (by slamming into the tiled wall, trying to climb the bathtub, running and tripping on the wet floor, etc) I would like my puppy to be more comfortable with bathes.

Also, I think it’d help you guys give a helpful answer if you realize the size/construction of the house.
*the inside
-tiled floor
-8 rooms 2 stories
-lots of things to chew on that arent supposed to be chewed on
(such as decorations and chairs)
*the outside
-surounded by concreted land and dirt.
-under the construction of a garden
-Very open/clear area for the dog to run around
-Few "evil" dogs that arent very train and try to bite the puppy’s
head off at any given chance unless the puppy is accompanied
by a human.

Oh also one more question:
What should i do to remove the urine stench from the tiles so that the dog can’t smell its urine/feces anymore. There arent that many available dog supplies other than the basic ones (such as dog shampoo, collars, leashes, dog food, etc) theres no cleaning materials or whatnot.

Please help! I’ll be forever grateful :]

I have a 8 week old Boston Terrier puppy I received for stud service. I make under 10K yearly. I wonder if there is a veterinary clinic using a sliding scale in the Lancaster County PA area. Or possibly I could barter puppy care for helping at a humane league or other facility. Can anyone offer suggestions for new puppy mommy?

I just got a new puppy she’s about 2 month’s old for my 13th birthday and I wanna now some tips on how to train her to be house trained. Also she keep crying at night how can I make it stop?

Our puppy had 4 puppies this morning around 5. One of the puppies is missing a leg and is the runt of the litter. The mother has feed him all day but now she would let him eat. When ever he starts to she pushs him off and he rolls away from the group. Since he only has 3 legs he can’t find his was back and just lays there helpless. What should we do? what should we feed it?

The mother is a mixed Lab and hasn’t delivered. How long do dogs carry their young and how do I feed the baby?
I’M NOT BREEDING! My neighbor is going to give me a puppy when her dog delivers. I’ve never had a pet and don’t have a clue. I came to answers for answers not criticism. I’m doing research on Google and probably should have avoided Answers since this site seems devoted to put downs.
