Thanks for the replies. Have been trying the suggestions and my Poppy is somewhat a happier puppy now and has been behaving herself much better. While wallowing in my problems I totally forgot to tell everyone more about my and 2 puppies . I got 2 puppies 2 months ago, a female silky (who is 5 months old now) called Poppy and a dashound (cross silky) male (4 months old) called Skittles. Poppy as you all know is stubborn as hell and Skittles...welll...he is a 'SNAP' (Sensitive New Age Pup) and as easygoing as they get...toilet trained in a week and always eager to please I hope to eventually breed the both of them (so that I'll have 'Skippy' pups, hopefully with their father's temperament) but was wondering if it is true that it is not advisable to do so in the first 'heat'. Next question is how effective are anti-mating sprays? For users of anti-mating sprays, which brand would you recommend? Also, are there any puppy training classes held in KL ?
