activeviii Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 had mine for 2 weeks this friday. he loves his crate but doesn't like me sticking my head in every now and then but i was told its the right think to do. he has never poo'd in the house but we have had a few pee's today is the 1st day with a dry house. all i do is take him out every 1/2 hour and tell him to go 'toilet' when he has been a say 'toliet good lad' i dont use these words at any other time now. in the first few days i was saying' toilet, good boy toilet' but i then soon learnt that when we were playing in the house and he did something good i would praise him. 'there's a good boy' or words to that effect. my son said to him one day 'come on teague, lets go out to the toilet' and with that the pup pee'd on the carpet.lol. that was when i noticed that every time i praised him with a 'good boy' an accident followed. god these dogs are so clever and quick to learn. only downside is he doesn't like to get wet feet and if it rains he whinges when he has to go out to toilet.lol. we went from 5 or 6 wee's in the house a day and then to 1 or 2 for a week or so. no doubt we will have a few more good luck with Pup. enjoy it all and take loads of photos as mine has totally changed shape and size in just 2 weeks. Kind regards Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

activeviii Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Im no expert in anyway by the way. i'm only going on what others tell me, books and observation. Teague is my first so very steep learning curve for my/us but Teague is so keen to please that his is just pure fun to be around. best of luck kind regards Phil.

mosa Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 put a painted stick or something in the garden that the pup will relate to. this means your mess will be in a concentrated area of your garden unlike mine. a poo mine field!!!!
