You have a bell for him to ring?

 

[Dove]

Yep. Bells hang on ghe door knob and he smacks them to let us know he has dog business to attend to

 

[Courier Six]

Ti just jumps up and walks back and forth on us until one or both of us wakes up.

 

[Dove]

Mike (my man) never used pee pads. He bell trained him immediatele

 

[Dove]

And its perfect

 

[jack]

@Dove that's pretty cool

 

[jack]

Mine would just scratch the door

 

[Courier Six]

Ti is the first can we've had after our daughter left for college.

 

[Dove]

I thought it was brillant. Ive never had a dog so i never thought about such things but bells are the way to go

 

[Courier Six]

Have you tried those audio recording buttons?

 

[jack]

I'm hoping to bump into my next dog at the shelter I walk at.

 

[Courier Six]

Seen YT videos where pet owners have a shitload of those on the floor.

 

[Dove]

The only real problem behavoirs we are working on is....he gets humpy. When he gets jealous and worked up he will start humping. And the barking. He is terrible with the barking

 

[jack]

mmm barking. That took us forever to cure him of that

 

[Dove]

Yeah Mike said he didnt want to teach Eddie to go potty in the house and thatsvpee pads

 

[jack]

Is he neutered?

 

[Dove]

Mike is a free lance writer so he works from home. He was able to take Eddie out every two hours and ran bells each time. It worked fast

 

[Dove]

Oh yeah he was nuetered young

 

[jack]

The humpy stuff can be intense. It's like they never forget

 

[Dove]

He never makes contact. But he locks his paws around you and goes through the hump motions...it is intense lol

 

[jack]

Our spaniel was pad trained. That took forever to teach her to go outside

 

[Dove]

Its a dominance thing i think

 

[jack]

I think you're right.

 

[Dove]

He has gotten much better about it. He had to adjust a lot because it was always just him and and Mike. Now suddenly im in the bed. There are my kids here. Cats are here. He loves it but gets insecure sometimes and needs Mike time

 

[Dove]

As long as Mike takes him on their nightly walk justbthe two of them its good

 

[jack]

awesome

 

[Dove]

Pits are very possesive

 

[jack]

they're big friendly beasts though unless they're being threatened

 

[Dove]

My dog is terrified of cardboard lol

 

[jack]

wow. the spaniel was afraid of pine cones
