Potty Training an older dog?

Yeah, I have way too much experience with that but I still don't feel like I have much expertise on the subject.

Thank you.

Sounds like you're doing well.

I'd consider a 'belly band' for reducing the pee problem. I haven't gotten one yet but I start to order one every time we have a new dog in the house. (I wish a local store carried them.) They look like they're worth a try.

Good luck.

Hmmm. Interesting, I'd never seen one before. Not quite at that stage yet, but its nice to know these things exist. (so far I wouldn't actually call him 'difficult' to house train, he's just new at it).

I think a lot of times dogs don't understand that they *can* ask you for anything. That they can influence your behavior in a positive way.

A lot of dogs need to be taught to let you know they want out. Some people hang jingle bells on the door, and touch the bells every time before they go out with the dog. If the dog isn't afraid, they touch the bells with some part of the dog

Great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is very lucky to have found his way to you!!!!!

Indeed!

In case you want to try something...someone told me she put a (jingle- style) bell at the door the dog could use to signal. It'd be easy to try; just jingle it every time you let out the dog. Eventually he might get it.

Good luck.
