Nikko started sliding backward with potty training a little bit, probably because he'd use his bell to tell us he wanted to pee, play outside, go for a walk, AND play with the neighbor dog. So we started telling him "no" sometimes when he rang the bell and we knew he didn't have to pee... I think that backfired, because that was about the time we started finding pee spots on our carpet :-(
Anyways, we moved the bell over to a door that leads straight to the potty zone instead of our front door that we use for everything else. Hopefully that will work, and we are also giving peanut butter chips a try. He got his first one today and he LOVED it! The only little problem is that 5 minutes after giving him one, he turns into insano sugar rush dog... then 15-30 minutes later, passes out into a sugar coma, lol. I'm going to start eating half the chip myself, and giving him only a half when he pees/poos... hopefully that'll help. Thanks for the tip though! Hopefully this'll help him relearn the new door quicker.
