Thread: Yeah, Dale asked to go out to potty !! :)

    Yeah, Dale asked to go out to potty !! :)

    We have had Dale for about a month and half (which isnt that long) and he isnt potty trained yet...Swissies are known to take a while...but anyway, he always goes when i ask him to outside...but today i was in the other room and i heard him whining (this is how he usually tells me)...he was at the back door, so i opened it and he went out and went potty!! Yeah progress!! I know it takes time, but each little thing is progress! Anyone who has ever potty trained a puppy will understand my excitement! Keep up the good work Dale!

    So how long did it take you to potty train your puppy...i know different breeds/personalities take longer than others...but just curious.

    Yayyy good boy Dale!

    Kai took a very long time. He wasn't fully reliable in the house until about 9 months We've been accident free for 4 months now (not including the time he *marked* the used chair we bought)

    Yay Dale!

    It took Daisy about a day to learn, and Molly got the hang of it a few days after we brought her home.

    Yay Dale!!!

    I can understand your excitement!!!!

    Two of my dogs came to me housebroken, but Riley was just a baby. He caught on pretty quick though--when he needs to go out, he jumps the gate in the entryway to stand at the front door---he hasn't quite figured out yet that they go out back, silly pup

    Yipee for Dale!

    With Roxey it took a few months and probably about the same for Angus (can't remember, it's been too long )
    But Huney never did potty in the house

    Good boy Dale!

    We had Prince for about a month, and we had bells on our door, so then before we brought him outside, we would ring the bells. After a little bit, Prince rang the bells on is own! He still rings the bells when he has to (or wants to) go outside.

    Yea, good boy Dale.

    *it took Jesse about a week tops to learn how to whine at the back door to go outside. she took about that much time to train her also. i read that Cockers learn fast, but WOW!!!

    I THOUGHT Teddy was potty trained until today. He's a ten month old pomeranian. I took him outside to go to the bathroom, then let him in the house...I don't know what got into him, but he walked around the computer room for like 5 minutes marking his territory on everything before I caught him!

    Darlin is like Kai! I've just learned to rely on her for it. She's a little over 9 months now, and just learned on around her birthday!
    But, good boy, Dale!!!!!

    Good boy, Dale! I still make a big deal over Hannah when I see her doing her business outside. She was one of those who took forever.
