Search dogs (explosives drugs etc) and my two are trained to react to the word 'empty'. So far no one moaning about an empty cylinder or water tank has triggered them off .
I would have thought training Misty for the van a higher priority I can vouch for it being more difficult to go to bed in a van when a bitch has peeded on the soft furnishings than it would be in your house.
You are not wrong there Frank. Just very occasionally and for no reason we've ever been able to determine, they will suddenly pee on the duvet or somewhere else that smells right!!!
Gracie has done it once in the van and once in the house, which was particularly annoying since she is trained and quite content to sleep in the van toilet, and isn't allowed on the bed in the house . . . . well, in theory anyway.
She does love a drink of beer though (or Guinness) and comes to ask for a drop whenever she hears a tin pop. Serves me right if she piddles after a booze up I suppose. I can't go through the night these days after a couple of cans!
Misty stayed in the kitchen all night with no problems.
This morning she did her business outside, on the grass and was highly praised, without any treat apart from then coming in for a bowl of food.
I quite agree about the chocolate - I am not one for feeding dogs anything other than their own food and certainly no titbits at the table. That's just me though and each to their own of course.
We are going to Brean so will take that as training her in the Motorhome way of life. She is so easy to teach around the caravan here
At the moment she likes to have me in sight at all times but I expect that eventually I will be able to go to the loo and shower without leaving the door open

Now I need to go to the shops so we will see what happens when I leave her in the Motorhome for a short while.
Russell, have you got Jenny permanently now?

Hi Tricia - Jenny is not a permanent addition but is with me 90% of the time.

Hi Tricia,

She was excellent when I went to the shops, waited patiently and no destruction I popped in and out of 4 shops so it was quite a good test, I think.
Today though ... bit of a disaster I feel so guilty and sad now
My friend came around and we wanted to pop out, although I could have taken her I thought it would be a good test of leaving her here on her own. I now see I did it completely wrong .... wise after the fact
When we got back I opened the door I could not speak!!
Misty had escaped from the kitchen and caused havoc at the doors and windows. She was sent straight to her bed and stayed there as we both just ignored her.
I have been out and bought her a crate as was so concerned that this would happen in the Motorhome.
I am so upset, I do not want to crate her at night or in the Motorhome - the crate is big in my lounge and would take up one side seat of the Motorhome (no floor space for it)
Help me out here please dog owners, should I crate her at home at night to get used to it and also in the Motorhome when travelling and when leaving or should I give her another chance?
I know today's misdemeanour was basically my fault for not having taken it more in stages.
Advice needed and welcome.
