Thanks so much for all the ideas.
I have gone to the syringe idea with baby food in it. He better get the hang of this soon, or I might faint!
After having 4 human children, he is requiring more than they did, I swear. I keep telling myself, this is a front loaded job. If I spend the time and do it right now I will reap the rewards for many years.
I heard an idea I am going to try for potty training. They took one of the huge dog crates and opened it up and put it upside down. Then you put the 2 door ends together. This basically makes a confined area with 2 seperate sides and a plastic bottom. You put their food and bed etc on one side and then the potty pads on the other. After about a month, they recommend moving the bed side and the puppy should go to the potty side on his own. I am going to give it a try. I bought 2 huge crates, one for each level of my house. Sorry about the length! I'll keep you up to date. Thanks again!
