I know this might sound weird, but Hercules seems to be fake pee-ing to get treats!

We live on the third floor of an apartment, so we put chicken wire up around the balcony and built a little box for him to go to the bathroom in. Our original intention was to get some sod to put in the box, but it's out of season. So instead we're using the pee pads. When he goes outside we then go inside and give him a treat. It's just too cold to give him the treat outside and wait for him to decide whether he's going to eat it or play with it.

So he's getting used to getting treats when he goes outside. But he hasn't completely gotten the idea that he has to go to the bathroom when he's outside too. So sometimes he'll go to the door and get me to take him outside. Then he will jump in the box and squat like he's peeing, yet nothing will come out! Believe me, I watch him like a hawk and he doesn't pee. Then he goes to the door for me to let him back inside and proceeds to go to where the treats are and jump around for a treat. My little boy fake pees on me!!!

I just had to share this story because it is so funny.

Has anyone else had an experience your yorkie tries to fool you for a treat??
