We were having some trouble with Riley getting him potty trained...but don't get me wrong, we still have issues with him every so often..but for the most part he will now pee and poop on the pad.. but here's the humor in all this..

He's SO use to that when we see him go potty like a good boy, that we say goodboy and give him a treat.. right..normal actions.. Ok So now when he goes potty..he is LOOKING for us to be watching him, and as soon as he's done, and we say goodboy but don't move for the treat.. He just sits there and stares at us, like.. Ok..Wheres my treat..

So.. Theres a little humor in this whole potty training situation, we are all posting about.. It makes it fun!

How cute! They love their treats! My DH always gives the dogs treats when they come in from outside. All of them will sit and wait but Brady will be like inches away from the cabinet door where we can't even open it..

Hi, ours is just a little different. When he now goes potty all the time like a big boy, he runs and jumps on me kinda bouncing of my shoulder wanting his treat. He occasionaly misses the wee pad and and it lands in the floor, so we just keep tellin him that his aim is still alittle off and he need to stand with all fours on the pad..thanks for reminding me how cute this can really be, even when it is also very trying.

That is so cute! Skeeter is such an attention hound that he will do ANYTHING to get a "good boy" out of you. When he goes outside he likes to go all the way to the back of the yard then when he finishes he will look at us and wait for his "good boy". After he hears it he comes running top speed to get his petting and more "good boys." He is funny, he will also use the pad indoors from time to time but doesn't expect a complement for that!

LOL, dh always gave the furkids a treat after going out even well into their adulthood. While we started off right, eventually...

It would go like this: someone would ask to go out, he'd open the door (we have a fenced yard) furbutts would run outside. Eventually, furbutts would do their business and return, dh would give them a treat.

This all stopped when we realized furbutts were now asking to go out, racing out and right back to the door for the treat. He was heartbroken, but had to stop giving them treats for coming back inside.

Thank goodness, they are back to doing their business.

The things they train us to do.

LoL. They do start to wise up. Osito will sometimes make multiple releases. He'll go, but not really "drain" himself, get his treat, then run back and go again, and expectantly await his next treat.
