hi all i read a post about Alfa Males in the house and Alfa Females in the house and wanted to know what the best way to tackle my lil troublesome thought. Koopa he is 6 wks old and has just started to follow my partner around and pay lots of attention too him but Lil Koopa is mine I fear he is going to listen to my partner instead of me I'm just guessing that I will have to inform my partner on how I want training to commence. Also Koopa is mini foxy cross caviler? And is as small as a shoe I'm having trouble determining if he is doing a wee as sometimes he is standing sometimes stretching and sometimes squat sitting but in the way he normally sits and don't see the stream until it hits the floor and changes the colour of the carpet. What method of toilet training works well for this small breed as he is flipping out when I put him in a safety gate sealed off room and won't pee or poop on any scedual as yet? i read a post about catching him and waiting with him in the desired place i want him to do potty i have tried it but no luck as yet, although he eats and drinks very lil amounts even when i offer to him? some guidence would be appriciated.
cheers aussiepuppy

There is nothing special about house training a small breed dog over a large breed dog. You train them both the same way. As for him being your dog instead of your partner's, he will mostly follow the person who feeds him and gives him the most attention. There are multiple threads on here about house training a puppy. He is very young. How long have you had him?

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring-it was peace. - Milan Kundera
hello thank you for helping me with some of my concerns and yes i have been reading posts as you are aware a lot of the same question is asked i have noticed i only asked as in a few posts their has been speculation on different behavioural issues with large and small dogs so as you could imagine some answers contradict themselfs. he like i said is 6wks and we have had him for 1 week he has had his vaccinations and has been wormed and frontline flea spraied i do realaze that this process will take time and lots of concistancy thanks again
