Well, we are considering getting Rex a little sister. Rex is 3 pounds and I spoke with his breeder today and she has a puppy that will end up somewhere around 2 pounds, will be too small to breed (otherwise she'd keep her for herself), and thinks she'd be perfect for Rex.
Currently Rex stays in his crate while I am at work. He is well trained to go outside and does a great job of holding it through the day. But, IF we get another, I'd like for them both to be trained to go inside so they can play during the day instead of being crated. Why have two if they can't play? I see the posts about UGODOG, but wonder if I will have success training Rex to use it since he is trained to go outside?
Any thoughts on getting him a little sister and any thoughts on how I can re-train him to go inside??? Thanks!
