Our pets need quality pet food. Read the ingredients list and learn what the stuff on there is and what it does (or does not do) to/for our pets. A quick pet food 101. If the pet food contains corn/corn products or by products it is a poor quality food. Corn is a filler that can trigger skin problems. (allergies, skin problems, itching and excessive shedding) By products is anything from an animal not fit for human consumption, including cancerous tissue. Do not pay attention to advertising, they all say there food is great. "Vet approved" means they have a vet on staff to approve their product. In other words, someone paid to approve it. Same with foods most vets recommend. Salesmen "gift" vets then the vet recommends the food. Most vets are not nutritionists! Quality foods have meat as the first ingredient. California Natural, Solid Gold, Innova and Merrick are a few of the best brands available.

the first thing to remember about housetraining a puppy is there ability to hold themselves is limited. a rule of thumb is they can hold "it" usually 1 hour for each month of age. 2 months old = 2 hours, 3 months old = 3 hours, etc. when your puppy wakes up (marning, nap, whatever) the pup has to go, right then! take the pup out. when the pup eats or drinks, it has to go, take the pup out. after exercise (play), take the pup out. when the pup does it's thing outside praise it. a lot. tell the pup how good, how smart it is. you have to pay attention to the pups "looking for it's spot" behavior. when you see that behavior indoors, whisk the pup out. if you catch the pup in the act, simply tell it "NO!" and whisk it outside. if you find a puddle or pile after the fact, clean it up with an enzyme cleaner (pet food store) get a newspaper and hit.... yourself in the head and say "i should have been paying more attention" daytime training they get pretty fast. night time training is easier if you crate train the pup. also remember the one hour/one month rule. you will have to get up through the night to take the pup out. good luck

How much does a crate cost?

my dog is small only weighs 4-9 pounds and is a morkie (malteese and yorkie)
Answer
It depends on what style and quality of crate you want.
For an already crate trained dog you might get mesh crate.
For travel, you'd need a special soft-sided carrier that fits under the seat on the airplane.
For use in a car, choose a special seat belt instead. They are safer than crates. If you must use a crate in the car, choose a plastic one. They are less likely to injure a dog if they break on impact.
For home, for general use and for crate training (which is what I assume you want), choose between a plastic (airline) crate or a wire crate.
If your dog is shy or barky, go for the plastic--it's more den-like and calming. If your dog is confident and curious, and/or you enjoy seeing him from anywhere in the room, choose a wire crate--it has better ventilation and a better view.
Here's a link to a good, middle quality plastic crate:
http://www.upco.com/vari-kennel-small-top-handle-olive-color
That one is $38.95. Shipping is $5.50.
Here's a link to a good, middle quality wire crate:
http://www.upco.com/general-cage-folding-cage-gold-side-door-only-small
That one is $79. Shipping will actually be a bit less, $4.00.
With this company the cost of shipping goes down the more your order totals. You may find other online stores or catalogs with lower prices, but double check the shipping. That's usually where they get you, especially on crates. Usually UPCO has the best prices in my experience.
You can find similar crates at your local pet store, usually for a lot more. You can find cheaper crates, both in price and quality, at discount stores like Walmart.
Make sure the crate actually fits your dog. I have a crate that claims to be suited for a Great Dane, but it is actually too small for my German Shepherd.
Your dog should be able to stand naturally (head up) without bumping his head. He should be able to turn around easily, and lie flat on his side with his legs extended. It should be no larger than that if you intend to use it for crate training.
Over-sized crates permit an untrained dog to set aside a section of the crate for toileting. A crate that is just big enough to comfortably lie in discourages crate soiling because dogs don't like to soil where they sleep.
