The little sneak pooped in the house TWICE today!
His name has been changed to "the little sh!t"! Not really, but, twice!!!
I do notice that I am not as vigilant on the weekends; there is more going on and I miss cues. So again, my own fault, and I have given him the privilege of moving around just alittle less supervised and that needs to stop, so HE'S TETHERED TO ME! Oh, God this little stinker is giving me a run for my money!
I think he is rather dismayed at the leash, but he will get used to it. Also, I was not happy with any of the three harnesses I bought and so I am working on making one that is tailored to him. He has worn 3 proto-types. Each time I put it on him, I see how it fits, how he acts. After he's enjoyed some "freedom" and play, he goes back into the crate, and I modify the harness. He seems to be able to pull the harness and twist it, particularly when he is pulling and playing, chewing on the leash. So I have one of the leashes drying right now that I sprayed with bitter spray. I imagine as he gets used to the harness being on and the leash hooked to it, it will be less inviting to play with.
I keep telling myself that I managed to raise a human child, keep him safe, potty train him, and he is an adult I can be proud of. But this little cutie puppy is turning into a challenge!! LOL
