We purchased a 4 month old female aussie from a breeder. When we looked at
her I thought we should wait because I felt her kennel (barn and yard) was
below what I would consider clean. However I had my wife, daughter, and
grand kids (they live with us) with me and the kids would not of let me
come
back without a puppy.
We did research before we purchased an aussie and went with this bread
because of intelligent level, and ease of training. We love this pup, but
we
are having problems with her. Potty training started to go very well. Her
stool was loose and she would go outside then come in and poop on the
carpet
within a couple minutes. This still continues. We took her to the vet went
we first got her and he said she is a keeper. After a second trip to the
vet
we found she has hook worms. She was treated on her first visit but he
said
she has them really bad. She will go back next week for another treatment.
However she still continues to go outside and is very hard to get to come
back inside. And sometimes within a few minutes after coming in she will
pee
on the carpet. I can understand with the loose stool when she poops but
this
is getting to be a bit too much. When she pees on the carpet she will run
knowing she is in trouble. We have not hit her but have hit the table
which
makes her run with tail between her legs. She now has started when we pick
her to take her outside after an accident or bring her in to bite at our
hands.
I hate to be the bad guy with this kids but I don't think this dog is
going
to work out. I would love to keep her but she is at the end of her rope.
Maybe someone can give some ideas. And regarding the hook worms what
should
we do. Is the waste in the yard a continued problem we have very large
yard.
How good is the worm meds at the pet stores, or should we have treatment
at
the vet?
Thanks
