Re: potty training - P-Nut' s the first dog I've had as an adult and he was surprisingly easy to potty train. He was pee pad trained within his first week at home. Then, closely monitoring his behavior in the house, taking him out frequently and rewarding potty outside with a treat and lots of excited positive feedback worked wonders. On his own, he started tapping at the door to let us know he needs to go out.He used to mark up a storm, but rarely anywhere inappropriate and neutering him stopped that. He won't use a pee pad these days even if we're gone for a while, he waits to go outside.There is hope! And I love our boy so much, we may just get another male!
