THANK YOU all for your posts welcoming Brody!
Yes, Lynzy recommended the puppy play pen and I LOVE IT! It is working great! THANK YOU, Lynz!!!
The pee pad training is going good. He has used it, but he seems to prefer to go potty outside, which is OK with me, but wait'll he sees a PA winter, LOL! He'll be ASKING for that pee pad!!! He has had 2 accidents in the house, just squatted and peed right when I was looking at him!
haha!
I have the play pen by our bed at night. Put him to bed in it last night at 11pm and went to sleep myself. He was quiet as a mouse and as good as gold all night long; heard him stirring around at 6:30 am. Peeked in and he was awake and the piddle pad was still clean and dry. I grabbed that puppy and OUTSIDE we went (yes, I was in my PJs in the yard at 6:30 am...!) and he peed and pooped! WooHoo! I made such a fuss you would have thought he just graduated from Harvard!
I really like the idea of this dual training (pee pad AND outside).
