I just want to teach her to be able to tell me instead of me telling her  |
Ya know...I'd love to keep reading here to find out the answer to this one. I do the same as you. Just kinda keep an eye on my Neko and keep an eye on the time I took him last to see when he has to go. They are fairly smart. He will jump on me and continue to until I stand and follow him. He leads me to things that he wants. Some how getting him to do the same when he wants to go outside would be nice. He does it from time to time, but not often enough to not have accidents. He's not a barker either! Well, I read a post here about using a bell. I bought the bell about a week ago and attached it to the back door. Every time Neko has to go out/we take him out that is, we RING THE BELL!! Saying "Outside/Potty?" Then take him out. I really don't think he's got the idea yet, but it's only been a week. I even use his little paw to tap the bell and say "outside/potty" then open the door and take him out. So we will continue because I've heard alot of people say that it works!
