best headphones for 6 year old image
Amy Y
We are about to take our first long trip with our soon to be 2 year old. She doesn't do well with even short trips in the car. It is a 9 hour drive, but we have decided to stop overnight half way, so it doesn't overwhelm her. Traveling at night is not an option either. Any ideas on stuff to keep her busy & in a good mood? We did buy a portable DVD player, but I'm sure that will only keep her busy for about an hr or so. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as I am extremely nervous.
Answer
1.Patience
2.Magnadoodle
3. Wireless childrens headphones if you can afford it to prevent safe driving for you and entertainment and something "new" for the little one.
4. A very good spill proof cup, preferably the one with the snack bowl attached
5. Practice and skill in selective hearing.
6. Pull ups- accidents happen.
Sometimes there will be screaming. You will be on the road. It might come at the time when you are on the Highway. Pay no attention to it, block it out, focus on the road. Screaming does not exist until you are off.
You may get luckily and she will most likely sleep most of the way. Most kids do. Even on the train my son slept most of the time.

What are a few ways to train a Yorkie to stop chewing up things?

My 1 1/2 year old Yorkshire Terrier (which is also mixed with a little bit of Poodle), chews up a lot of things (recently- my brand new headphones). We have tried putting her in the cage for about 30 min. - 1 hour, firmly (and quite loudly) telling her to not chew things, and much more. Nothing seems to work! She just does it again. We try our best to keep things away from her, but she jumps and worms her way into places. Its getting pretty bad and I really don't want to sell her. We have even had to resort to placing gates to block off certain rooms (which looks very tacky). She also has at least 2 accidents in the house per day. Is this normal? What can I do? By the way, we have 6 members of the household, 3 adults, one teen, a 4 year old, and a baby. She is the only dog in the house, we got her in December of 2011.
We do keep things away and up as much as possible. She even chews on blankets on the beds and things like that.
We have many chew toys out and available, she chews on a bone often. We have a fairly big house and normally there are only 3 household members (which doesn't make a difference- she still acts the same.) We have had a dog before, he was well trained.
Answer
First off, if she is still having accidents in the house, she is not properly house trained, or you don't have her on a schedule and she is forced to eliminate in the house.
Second, there is nothing "tacky" about gates in a household with dogs. If you have a problem with gates perhaps the dog lifestyle is not for you.
Third, what are you giving her to chew on that is more appropriate? Does she have an antler, or a nylabone, or a bully stick, or anything?
Sounds to me like she is not getting enough exercise, is not fully trained, and is living in a crowded house with no rules, no structures, and no schedule. Just the right environment for behavior issues.
By the way, putting her in the crate does nothing. Nothing. It was worthy of repeating.
