I recently sought help for Cara's hyper-activity and the unanimous answer was more activity. She and I were taking long walks before I got sick. I knew it was important, but didn't realize how adversely the lack of exercise was affecting her behavior. Since I am disabled at present, (hope to be well soon!!!) I am looking for a dog-walker who will be kind & firm. The present issue is Cara having begun to pee on the carpet in the den. She had never been indoors when I got her at 10 mo's, and there were a few accidents but she caught on quickly. She always sleeps in the bedroom with me at night and has never had an accident. A dog her size leaves a huge puddle and I've got to find a remedy before my husband discovers. He wants her to strictly be an outside dog. We have a big yard and she plays out a lot, but I bring her in for play and socializaiton. It is a continual point of contention...one on which I will not relent, but I do need a quick remedy. Wise animal-lovers - help!

I think the dogwalker will help. Dogs get stressed out too, and sometimes they show that by forgetting their housetraining. The change in her schedule, and maybe the fact that she can tell you're sick may be upsetting her.
And tell that husband of yours that people who are regularly around dogs show much more improvement in symptoms of almost any illness. She's good for you.
Hope you get better soon!

Very sorry to hear you're disabled right now. However I think I can help. I'm looking for a job working with animals. I absolutely LOVE huskies and any other wolf- like dog! If it's not too much to ask, can you e-mail me and let me know where you live. If you live near my area I'll be more than willing to help.
