LOL I've done that before too! 'Oh, he's so good, I think he's got the hang of it... blah blah blah...' and then he piddles right there pretty much in front of you when you're bragging about him. Yeah.
Yeah, I hope someone can suggest some ways of showing him how to tell me that he needs to go out. My mom suggested that now that he has control of his bladder from the crate training that I leave him in the kitchen (since the door where we go out is in the kitchen) and see what he does. Hopefully he will make some noise later on today when he has to go outside! She said that's how she trained one of the dogs I grew up with... she musta forget some details somewhere though, seems to easy! lol
I was thinking of getting one of those hotel bells - you know, the ones that you press down on from the top to make a DING noise. I could double side tape it down to the floor by the door and DING it every time we go out. He can step on it to ding it. Works like the bells except he can't chew and subsequently destroy them like his last set... ?
