Hehe. I sometimes say it like Deee-O, which is funny because my friends have a rabbit named Dio, and apparently Theo looks alike like her, especially from the back with his bunny butt. Hehe.<BR/><BR/>In terms of house training, Nickel, I've thought about the bell, but I worry that Theo will just ring it everytime he wants to play outside. Right now everytime he sits by the door it usually just means he wants to play. I read the 2 hour and after meals and play rule, but it's hard to overcome my laziness and business. I mean, that's taking him out like 12 times a day! That takes time, and I'm supposed to be working. But you're right, I should just swallow my laziness and do it. <BR/><BR/>Lynn, you're so lucky you live in a space that lets Lucy go out whenever she wans to. My backyard goes straight to my front area, which has a gate to the street that I'm not allowed to lock. Lame! Anyway, Theo likes to try and eat woodchips and plants, so I don't think I would trust him outside anyway.JuLohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666635743536304775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855276285056599610.post-24145650577777669482008-02-27T19:22:00.000-08:002008-02-27T19:22:00.000-08:00It took us MONTHS to housebreak Gonzo. I was told ...It took us MONTHS to housebreak Gonzo. I was told once a dog goes a month with no accidents, he can be considered housebroken, but Gonzo would get to the 3 week 6 day mark and he'd pee on the floor. He would do really well for a long time, and then he'd lose it for a few days. Just be patient and persistent.<BR/>Gonzo never told us when he wanted to go out either. Here is what would happen: He'd be involved in doing something (like playing or sleeping). He would suddenly stop doing it and run over to the door. There would be a trail of pee behind him, haha. Then, later on, he would just quietly sit by the door but not make any noise.<BR/>Eventually, we taught him how to ring a bell whenever he wants or needs to go out. It was a lifesaver.<BR/>Just keep a close eye on Theo. He may give off little signs of needing to pee. Try taking him outside every 2 hours, after he eats, and after he wakes up. Those are the two key times when he will almost always have to go. And get really excited when he goes outside. Jump around and praise him and play with him or give him a treat. These were all the things that helped us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855276285056599610.post-57745420203143531432008-02-27T15:19:00.000-08:002008-02-27T15:19:00.000-08:00Lucy doesn't tell us when she needs to go out eith...Lucy doesn't tell us when she needs to go out either. When she was very little, she slept in a crate in my room, and did two really quiet whimpers when she needed to pee. Lucy has a doggy door that goes to our back yard that she can go into when she's home alone. She poops outside now, but still pees in her ex-pen that's in the laundry room. She doesn't go far from the door, usually she just goes outside to sunbathe. She likes going out, but doesn't seem to realize that outside is potty area. She is getting better though. Funny we're talking about this, I think there was a mycorgi.com forum question about this topic today...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628443856304986228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855276285056599610.post-35004480415156984712008-02-27T13:06:00.000-08:002008-02-27T13:06:00.000-08:00Well it was very rainy last week, so he got pretty...Well it was very rainy last week, so he got pretty dirty. We don't plan on over-bathing him, but I wanted him to experience a bath with us before he got too old, since this is supposed to be part of his prime development period.<BR/><BR/>Does Lucy spend time outside by herself while you are out at work? Unfortunately, we aren't able to leave Theo outside unsupervised yet for a number of reasons, so that might be slowing it down as well. The main thing is he hasn't learned to tell us when he needs to go outside and I just don't know how to teach him that. Ah well, hopefully he'll pick it up soon.JuLohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04666635743536304775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855276285056599610.post-42747957577552504732008-02-27T09:14:00.000-08:002008-02-27T09:14:00.000-08:00Wow, sounds like you're doing really well with The...Wow, sounds like you're doing really well with Theo! Lucy has a mind of her own as well, and we didn't really teach her come, so she's a little difficult at times too. I don't know if it's us or Lucy, but this past week she's done much better with potty training. I can tell because when I go outside to pick up the poop, there's a lot more than I remember!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628443856304986228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1855276285056599610.post-44631114823756493262008-02-27T08:40:00.000-08:002008-02-27T08:40:00.000-08:00Wow, a bath already!

(which in my head I have to stop myself from saying Tay-O because we have someone here at work named Theo who pronounces it that way.)Jenna Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787074975348206652noreply@blogger.com
