When Does it Stop?

[mybirdys2003]

Yorkiegirl2! I have a Green Cheek Conure--a beautiful bird about the size of a sparrow. He has green feathers, a maroon tail, bright blue flight feathers and brown and white on head and chest. He is a one person bird---shakes hands, waves, and plays dead, and does summersaults! I also have a Blue Headed Conure--about the size of a robin. He is a kick! He is Green with a maroon under tail, blue head. He talks in a sweet voice. In the morning he keeps saying, "come on, come on" Then he will say, What R you doing? come on, come on. I say to him, Chicken Chicken and he answers, Quack, Quack. He also says Ow! What, Huh? Hello! Fish Bowl! Thank you, and is learning "You Talkin to me"? He's a real clown! He's the same bird in the movie Paulie.

Stitches! Yes, I felt like a fool in the yard yelling Go Potty about every hour in the middle of the night! I swore to God she would never learn! She was 9 months old when she finally learned---after growling at her and throwing her out the door. Should have done it earlier, but was scared I would traumatize her! Ha! She isn't afraid of much of anything! She is a sweetheart now, except for riding in the car. What a nightmare! Whines the whole time.. Also cutting her nails is a big ordeal! You would think I was skinning her alive!

My Pochi will be 2 yrs old tomorrow. YAY!! and is puppy pad trained BUT he has a thing for plastic bags(like from the grocery store or any type trash bags) he will see it and if left to roam alone there is no doubt he will mark on it! I don't know why he chooses to do that on them! It's quite frusterating! Everyonce in awhile he will sneak in a piddle on the bathroom shower mat (especially after I wash it! How convenient huh?) hehe
I know he knows it's wrong because whenever he goes and "marks" on something he makes a mad dash to our bedroom and sits on his bed and shakes with his head lowered down.
Now Choppi (we got him when he was 4 mo old and now he's 10 mo old), he does great one day no messes everything on the pad and the next day he acts like he doesn't know what a pad is and does his 'business' everywhere BUT the pad.
Daisy is great!!! From day 1 never had a problem with her. She gets it right on the pad. Except on a couple of times when she's smelled a spot where the other 2 have pee'd on in the past...so I can't really blame her.
Meeju is our mini schnauzer and we actually have her trained to go potty outside and usually never have a problem with her.
Maybe it's just co-wink-i-dink (coincidence) that the boys have a harder time with the potty thing than the girls. hmmmmm
Funny thing now that I think about it, the boys in my family (human, funny that I have to clarify yorkie or human) had a tougher time potty training as kids than the girls.
