I THROW UP MY HANDS, BRENDA BARNETTE!!!!

I don't normally lose it, although many would disagree with that, but BB,  you are one of a kind (I'm being nice here in case City Hall is around)!!

Dig this recent "Public Information" release from Breeder Barnette (again, I'm being nice). UNBELIEVABLE!! This woman is making a shamble of the licensing program being referred to in this Daily News article http://www.dailynews.com/ci_18260481?IADID=Search-www.dailynews.com-www.dailynews.com 

Then her department is being investigated for missing?stolen dogs

So what would top this off? Yes, I know, it might be difficult but here it is folks.  http://www.opposingviews.com/i/are-l-a-s-transported-dogs-stolen-or-rescued

AND THIS STUPID BROAD IS SENDING OUT PUBLIC INFORMATION REGARDING HOUSEBREAKING A  DOG???????

I just hang my head and shake it. What is wrong with the City Council and the Mayor's office? There needs to be some accountability about all of this and Barnette needs to be concentrating on the big picture. How utterly ridiculous that she would do something like this.

Housetraining   Your Dog

Dogs are instinctively clean animals.    They prefer not to soil their living quarters.  If   the human is consistent about the process, housetraining a dog usually isn’t   difficult. 

Your new family member may find moving to a new house   confusing.  The layout of your house will be unfamiliar to   him.  He doesn’t know which doors lead to the   outside.  And he may or may not have been housetrained   before.  Assume that any new dog, whether adult or puppy,   needs housetraining.

Before entering your house, take your dog on a leash   to the yard where you want his “bathroom” to be.  You may   need to walk with him as he explores the area.  Once he   takes care of business, praise him so he knows he has done the right thing.  

When you bring the new dog into the house, have his   den (crate) ready for him or a small “safe” space defined for him that can be   easily cleaned, such as a bathroom with a gated entrance or a fenced-off part   of the kitchen.  Put his special bed, toys, and food inside   his space.  Visit and play with him often and begin each   visit with a trip out to his “bathroom” and lavish him with praise after he   goes to the bathroom.

Take your dog out to her “bathroom” area on a regular   schedule.  Young puppies should be carried outside for their   break every hour, as soon as they wake up from a nap and immediately after a   meal.  If it is hard to keep track of the time, set an alarm   clock or kitchen timer to remind you of when the next potty break should   be.  Depending on the age and size of your puppy, you may   determine that he needs to go out more often at first.    That’s okay. The time between bathroom breaks will expand as he gets   older.  Stick to the schedule, even on weekends, and be sure   to feed your dog on a regular schedule, too. 

Watch for your dog’s signal to you.    Circling and sniffing are often indications your dog needs to go   out.  Some people like to teach the dog to ring a bell as a   potty break signal. Hang a bell on the door and make a game of ringing it each   time you take the dog out until he gets the idea to ring the bell   himself. 

Until you are sure your dog is housetrained, he needs   to be supervised 100% of the time when he is indoors and out of his   “den.”  He can be on a leash attached to you or a family   member.  Wait until you are sure he is reliably housetrained   before you let him have the run of the house.

Scolding for mistakes can do more harm than   good.  If you see a mistake happening, rush the dog outside   and then praise him once he finishes his business outside. Be sure to clean   accidents thoroughly to keep the area from smelling to your dog like it is the   right place to soil.

Dogs, like people, learn at different   rates.  There are days when your dog seems to understand   where to go and other days when he can’t remember a thing.    This is a normal part of the learning process.    Invest the time and patience to properly housetrain your dog and your   reward will be a lifetime of unconditional love from your furry family   member.
