The weather continues to get colder, and it is becoming increasingly more important that the puppy learn to potty outside on a leash. He much prefers to go on walkies for that, but as the air temperature heads south of freezing (not even to mention the wind chill!), I am less interested in taking four walks a day.
It's like a classic economics diagram--and the temperature goes down, the demand for backyard potty-ing goes up.
So yesterday, we had success! Not only did he wet all over the catmint (I think that was a dog-dominance thing as well) he pooped! In the yard! While on his leash without me walking along.
So, when was the last time you rejoiced because somebody pooped? It's like having a toddler again!
We'll talk about the putting everything into the mouth, and the pulling off all the toilet paper behaviors another time.
