I think I will try the walks once he gets his third round of shots *week after next*. Until then, I'm thinking of trying having him sleep in his crate, in his little kitchen area. As of today, I've limited his play area to just the kitchen.
I think before, he just had WAY too many options.
1) Before, he had a rest bed in his kitchen area OUTSIDE of the crate. Today, I took out the extra bed, and just left him the crate with the smaller cushion inside, and he decided to sleep on the floor instead. *eyeroll* I guess he just hates that thing with a passion.
2) Before, we would let him in the living room. But he'd "go" in front of the doorway *same spot always - i need some vinegar*. So today, I decided to stop that behavior by just limiting him to the kitchen area where his wee wee pad is. Let's hope THAT works
3) God, if there was a magic pill to stop the incessant barking, I'd buy it. How do you guys combat the barking? I never realized he could bark so loud. I guess my real issue is my concern for my neighbors. I just really dont want him to be an issue...because he's so loud, you know?
