Dog's and puppies both can understand body language very well, your dog can read you especially well when you are getting angry with them just by the tone in your voice.

Sometimes the fun of training a new puppy can be interrupted when you have to leave the house for extended periods of time, such as to go to work. While you are at work your puppy won't have anyone available to take him outdoors to use the bathroom so he will have to pee inside the house.

Once you start a routine your dog will look forward to the routine so you have to be consistent with your training sessions and walks.

My 15 year old cat, Babbs, was diagnosed with hyper thyroid and we had to put her on medication to help regulate her thyroid so she could live a normal life. Before the medication she was itching all of the time so much her hair would fall out from the vigorous scratching and licking she was doing. She also was easily frightened and had an insatiable appetite.
Well, we lost Babbs last week due to her kidneys failing from the medication that she had to take for the thyroid condition. Her kidneys literally shut down and she was not eating and lethargic and her weight dropped her to four pounds. After taking her to the vet to try and get some fluids into her she just became weaker where she could barely walk, and not enough energy to get into the cat box so she was having accidents near the cat box. If we were able to keep Babbs longer we would have used some dog wee wee pads for her to use as a bathroom until she got better, but in her case she didn’t get better.

Babbs will be missed more than most cats that we have had because she would always walk around the house and meow as loud as she could, especially if you were on the phone. Her “talkativeness” really gave her personality because it almost seemed as though she was speaking to us.
I can’t help but thinking that if we had opted for the radioactive treatment to kill the tumor on her thyroid making the medication unnecessary would we still have Babbs today. In our case Babbs was too old to try the radioactive treatment on otherwise we would have jumped on it. So if you have a sick cat with an over-active thyroid you really need to consider the radioactive treatment so the medication won’t be needed.
