I'm glad that Zeke's potty training is going well! Nebo pees a lot too, so do Reggie and Smokey. It's a male (and sometimes female) thing. You know, I've never "paper-trained" a dog. From the start, I taught Nebo to do his duties outside, not anywhere inside. Yes, he had his share of accidents, but he's doing great now.

Here's some of the things I did to potty-train Nebo. I don't know if it's really good advice or not, but it worked.

If you see the dog sniffing at all, ALWAYS take them outside. Keep the dog in your sight at all times, and try to minimize the chance of them peeing in the house. Take them out often, especially after eating and drinking.

I put a bell with a rope he can grab onto on the door. I ring it everytime I take him outside. He's starting to ring the bell himself to go out now, not always though. He'll at least go and sit politely in front of the door.

If the dog *does* pee in the house, say "Outside!" and quickly take them outside. This is only if you catch them in the act of course. Don't let the dog see you cleaning up the mess. I've heard they might think you are "playing" with it, and therefore, approve of it. Clean up the spot with some sort of product designed to take the odor out.

It's good to take the dog to the same spot every time to eliminate. That way they will recognize this as their "special duty place" or whatever lol. Ok, so I sucked horribly at this.......I tried really hard until he decided to eat the puppy-trainer bottle then I gave up lol.

It's sounds like Zeke is a very smart pup, so I'm sure he will catch onto it all very fast!!
