potty training yeah, about that hitting yourself for not watching, so true, if your prepared to let him/her roam the house you will have to keep an eye on him/her at all times, otherwise it may pee somewhere that you don't know and you may step in it like an hour later and by that time if you try to reprimand the dog he won't know why and that will start to create bad habits and will be harder to undo, so like if u sit to watch a movie put her in a crate or on the leash if u know u don't want to have to get up in the middle of it, you have to be able to watch for signs of him wanting to go so you can take him to his pad or outside or if you catch him you can reprimand him right away and take him to his pad. -- with my dog she usually starts sniffing around or will whine, if i ignore that then sure enough i will step in her accident later |
