| Not sure if this was a good idea.... I sent Ramsey on Monday to stay with my sister for a while. He has not been doing well with this house-training thing and she said that she could train him for me. She is a stay at home mom with 2 kids and a Chinese crescent. So she has more time then me to do it. I wonder, with her giving him the commands when it comes time for him to go home will he listen to me? She said that he would be fine but I don't know. I try to visit him every afternoon and he whines like crazy when I leave. I just don’t know what to do. I have noticed that he is better when he is around her CH. Crescent. What do you all think? |

| My mom can train anything to be potty trained, but it was something i had to learn for myself. He has to listen to me and learn which door to go to if he needs to go out. My puppy is pretty trained and my house, but still has accidents at other peoples because he doesn't know which door to go to, to let us know he needs out. Even if you work all day you can do it. During the day Logan has a pack N play he hangs out in with a pee pad in it. He knows it's okay to pee on that if he can't hold it. I go home at lunch to feed him and take him out and play a little and then after work I take him out about every hour. He sleeps in a crate at night. Be careful of pee pads though because now anytime Logan sees anything white laying on the floor he thinks he supposed to pee on it.

| He knows what door to go to, it just when you take him out to his spot he sits there or he will sniff for an hour and a half and not do anything. the as soon as he gets in the house he handles his business. It is starting to fustrate my parents so I didn't know what else to do and my sister was offering. |

| I say 'kudos' to your sister for volunteering to do this for you. How long does your sister anticipate it taking to train Ramsey? Will it be a couple of weeks or a couple of months? I think her commands can work for you as long as you spend a little time training yourself and Ramsey to those same commands. Ramsey should catch on quite fast as long as he is really trained. The only problem I see is the transition from being with someone all day long vs being left alone all day. Your sister should work on this too and adopt whatever method you will be using, either crate, pen or otherwise. I am not sure visiting your puppy everyday is a good idea either. There is the issue of separation anxiety. You may be festering the anxiety by visiting and having every goodbye "an event". But all in all, if pottying training is not really working for you , this may be a good option as long as you are prudent about the length of time Ramsey will be away from you. Just my thoughts. |

| I hope it only takes weeks because I miss him a lot! I miss getting a wake up call at 5:00 in the morning with him wanting to play.... I never thought that about the anxiety, I would limit my time with him. She crates him during the day, because if he were with me he would be crated while I was at work. Then she lets him out on the schedule that my mom does, so hopefully that will help. |
