How long does it take for puppies to be potty trained using the crate-training method?

Yowee what a touching story, thank you for sharing this. When I adpoted my Wolf he was a pup, and I had to go away a week and asked a friend in a neighboring town to watch him. I was living in WA state with my mom and Kels at the time, and though the friend was only about 12 miles away, on another Island, she alerted me one day, that Wolf had chewed through the rope he was tied to, and was missing.

I was in a panic, he was only with me maybe 3 months, and just before we flew home, the friend alerted me again. "I found your Pup laying on the front lawn of your house." He still had some of the chewed rope on him, but had to go through forests, and cross a tributary of Puget sound, plus cross highways, but when I got home, my friend was there, as was Wolf.

He's never run away again.

Such great story. I definitely agree about the importance of micro chipping your dog. A great way of solving this problem is http://www.foundanimals.org/pet-identifi... Pet Micro Chipping and pet licenses are great tools for this.

Use the website I provided and get your pet micro chipped.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
