I took two weeks off when I got Kodak and I kept him in the kitchen to. I made his cage really comfy with a nice blanket and pillow and his favorite toy inside. I put his other toys out on one side of the kitchen with peepads on the other side. I would leave the radio on so he would always here talking and music. I had a refillable waterdish so he always had water and I kept his food dish out. I took him outside first thing in the morning before I went to work, my mom would come take him out in the afternoon. I would take him out when I got off work so he sorta had a routine. It worked out, and I kept a baby gate up so he wouldn't leave his peepads to go in another room and use it. He occasionally had accidents but he always used the pads. I gave him a treat every time I saw him use the pads. So he did real good being confined to one room to get potty trained. I missed him during the day and he looked sad when I left, but he was so happy when I got home. 3yrs later I got him a playmate and now they both look sad, but at least they have each other.
