Dear Mr. Young: We have just acquired a 3-month old puppy - part Collie. part ?. and are in need of assistance in the care of the lad. We have a problem in that there is no one at home from 8 a.m1 until 4:30 hm. Mon- day through Friday. What and when should we feed him - we are presently giving him Puppy Chow ac- cording to directions on the package - he doesn't seem to like it very well.

When the pup does relieve himself outdoors, praise him considerably, let him know he has done the proper thing. Even using this meth- od, I imagine it will still take you a few months and a lot of effort before your pup is housebroken under your conditions. As for feeding your pup, proper nutrition is impor- tant.

If it appears that he does not really care for this food at the present, you could be feeding him too much or slipping him the odd little snack which he will certainly enjoy much better than his regular food.
