When they're "sort of" housetrained, it's easy to get lazy or start being inconsistent. I would think that if you just pretended like you never had trained him at all before, you could change the whole process. Be diligent, be observant, "re-train yourself", and I'll bet you can make the change. You'll also want to make sure it's always a positive experience. Since the stress of moving will already be there, if you make potty-training a positive enough experience, it will distract him from the move.
A lot of people here use the bells. I haven't been able to master that.
Good luck on the move! |
That is a good idea. I wonder if it is possible to start from square one, if he is already so confused. Maybe by treating him like he is not trained at all it will remove the confusion and get me back on track to being consistent. I guess it is just so hard to be consistent when we have two different living/pottying situations.
I wonder if anyone has any suggestions on how to get him to ring the bell to go out, when he doesn't let us know now that he has to go out (no barking or pacing.. just a squat and a gleam in his eye that says he's gonna do it!)
