My Reagan is now 9 months old - he came home when he was 3 months old. The breeder (a terrific woman) crate trained him so I have been very very lucky. After nearly 6 months I can count only about a dozen times that he he had an accident in the house - and they were all my fault and once cause he wasnt feeling very well - so I cant blame him. I am just so amazed that he is perfectly content in the crate - and that he has a bladder of steel. he always lets me know if he has to go outside. As he gets older I will keep expanding the area that he will have access to in the house. I do keep an eye on him if he is out of my sight.

When he wakes up in the morning - he stretches for a few minutes - not in any immediate rush to get outside, suprisingly. Even when I come home from work - same thing - no rush to get outside but I take him out and hang out with him in the backyard. In evenings weekdays and on the weekends he spends all of his time he has the run of the kitchen, living room and my ofice.

When I walk him he does what I call "faux peeing" lol - he will lift his leg a half dozen times only actually urinating the first few. He is not yet spayed - when should I do that? I am hoping that it doesnt cause a setback in his house training but should I expect that he will?

Thanks
Gina
