Welcome to the DP Aurora,..Baylee is a gorgeous puppy...As you are no doubt are discovering Siberians are adoreable but hard headed..You will need your best sense of humor...They are pretty rascally and easily bored..You will need to be patient and creative (they DO eventually kind of mellow,like your first Sibe)...If she is comfortable with her crate your off to a good start...Allways take her outside immediately when you let her out of the crate,before and after each meal and at bedtime and after naps.
...Give her every chance to suceed...Dont just shove her out the door,go with her,When she does something praise lavishly,ham it up "good puppy,woozie woozie"then bring her right back in so she will know what she went out for..If she does anything in the house dont make a big deal out of it just clean it up and deodourise it....Its your fault,you missed the cue. Use a good urine deodouriser! [one person used amonia and wondered why their pup went back to the same spot]
Our pups were allways house trained before they went to their new homes..We kept them in an X pen by the back door and let them out enmasse,,we made sure everyone did something then threw a handfull of kibble in the pen then let them back in. The whole litter would come roaring back in to get the kibble.
