Teenage boys are- stupid

	Hey guys I'm moving into a new house and Heidi is of course comeing with me. While Heidi knows Im the pack leader there is about 3 other roommates and a JRT( jack russel terrier) Heidi met every last nite and was ok except the JRT was a bit mean. To the point that we had to put him up because he started chasing Heidi and biting and growling at her. Anyway Heidi already doesnt use the bathroom in other dogs territories and if we live there this is going to be abit of a problem. Any ideason how I should get her to adjust comfortably into the new house people and dog. Thanks guys!

	Well, I think you may need to desiganate where you want her to go potty. Do you have a lawn that she can use or are you using the in house pads? If you have a lawn mark an area with those short landscape fences so she knows that's her area and have her potty exclusively in that area. Make sure it's large enough for her to feel comfortable in and keep it clean of stool so she doesn't have to walk on it. If you take her to that area each time she will learn to only go in that area instead of where the other dogs go.
