He catches on very fast.<br /><br />His second night in our home, he made a mess in the upstairs study. We didn't rebuke him at all, just immediately let him go outside. We cleaned up and left it at that. The next night, he didn't hesitate to wake us and ask to be let outside. We figured he had been punished for disturbing his people at night.<br /><br />We make a point of praising him whenever he asks to go outside and he seems so relieved and grateful when we understand what he wants.<br /><br />Like all dallies, though, he is ultra crafty and can be very dense about catching on . . . when he doesn't wish to, that is:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270324635714119391.post-76978389936499287272009-04-29T09:04:00.000-05:002009-04-29T09:04:00.000-05:00Oh, yes, Lady has caught on beautifully. . .to the...Oh, yes, Lady has caught on beautifully. . .to the treat factor, that is!
