I agree with thuse of one word for "potty time" I used "go potties" for the igs and it works. When I first housetrained Spike, I stood outside for however long it took until she did something. We didn't play, I wouldn't pet her, or pay any attention to her other than to keep telling her to go potties. I didn't care if it was pouring or cold or 2 o clock in the morning. We did this about every 2-3 hours.
Today she'll sit by the door when she needs to go. Getting her playmate Lucy, to follow suit has been a bit of a challenge, but they are typically on the same schedule. As for crate training, I recommend that as well. At night, the igs sleep in a crate with a litter box. There is only enough room for them to sleep. So they won't go where they are sleeping. They are very used to it and cuddle up with one another. With his barking/whining, put him to bed with a peanut butter filled kong, that has been frozen. Should keep him occupied long enough to let you go to sleep. By then perhaps you wont hear him and feel sorry for him. Eventually he'll stop. It's putting up with until he does that's hard. LOL! He's just a puppy and he's lonely. :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:220132 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
