Well, after a long day of work I arrived home to find Flash eagerly waiting my arrival in his kennel. However, as I approach something is not right... Yep - it happened. Flash decided to pee in the kennel. Now let me back up, Flash is completely potty trained and has never had one accident in the kennel. However, we have been trying a new approach in training him to get rid of his 'machismo' attitude. This involves bringing him to his designated 'Pee Zone' and telling him too eliminate. Flash is a very smart little devil and decided he is not going to submit to these new bathroom rules. After about 40 hours without going to the bathroom the inevitable has happened, get out the bleach and vinegar - it's clean up in the kennel.
But today after the mess we had a breakthrough. He finally was able to go to the bathroom in his zone, and as a reward he received a short walk. We also did an activity where I fed him food as I told him to come and repeated "Yes" a new word he is learning. He had a nice bath and was able to relax in "Place" command in his bed for the remainder of the night. See how nice it is when he cooperates?
I am hoping for more cooperation tomorrow.
Great Job.
