Hi, yes you're right. Petco employee doesn't know what s/he is talkin about loll. If Chewie makes a potty mistake, take him to the spot & say the potty cue words, 'pee pee' or 'wee wee'. Positive reinforcement is the best way to go, you're on the right track. Hang in there, it takes awhile for them to be 100% potty trained. I would keep him gated off to a room that you'll be in, not let him have free roam so you can keep an eye on him all times. Every 2 hrs, after he drinks water & eats & anytime he's sniffing around, you can take him to his potty area & say the cue words.
I'm not sure of the peeing in front of kitty thing...hope someone w/more knowledge can come by & give you an answer! |
