well- It's almost finals week here at UCD... so I gave up on the whole leaving the door open thing last night. I couldn't study in the freezing cold
(door open was BF's idea..........................................) BUT this morning I let him out (the dog hahahahah) first thing and he did his thing and got some treats! The litterbox is still inside (just in case) but I'll be taking him out every so often with the command "go potty" and then praise the heck outta him. I'm sure (if he can hold it) he'll wait for me to let him out to get the treat instead of just going in the box... we'll see
It's a slow process and he's the smartest dog IN THE WORLD (bragbragbrag) so i'm sure we'll get it, eventually
thanks for all the suggestions !!!!!!!
