Reply #18: good for you...

[Dookus]

I'm just watching this guy every minute and taking him outside often to do his business, then praising the hell out of him when he does.

He had been paper trained at his puppy-home, but Dookus don't play that game - ya don't teach a dog to shit in the kitchen. So far he's doing really really well. Every time he wakes up, out the door. Every hour when he's awake... out the door. He goes immediately, gets lotsa lovin', then back inside for more play & sleep. Actually, mostly sleep... this guy's a throw-rug.
