We've had Ozzy since June 28, and we are training him to go potty outside. He's really doing fabulous. He went the last 7 days without an accident. Then this morning, I took him out first thing for a pee. He gave NO indication that he had to poop (usually I can tell - nose to the ground on a mission). We came inside and not even two minutes later, while I was getting my cup of coffee, he pooped on the rug, out of my sight. I was a little upset about this only because I didn't catch him in the act, and therefore wasn't able to use "NO" to reinforce that he shouldn't go inside - I figured we had just gone out so he'd be ok for 20 mins. So, I did nothing except clean it up.
My b/f suggested we let him wait inside tomorrow morning until he has to go, purposefully, so we can reinforce that we don't like that. What do you all think? I'm not sure if I agree with this logic.
Oz knows that going outside is good. He gets treats or praise, and usually will sit by the back door if he has to go, but not always, so we take him out at least every two hours just in case. He just hasn't seemed to realize yet that going inside is NOT good. Any advice is appreciated.
