[QUOTE="Up Y'oars, post: 103470, member: 764"] Same chime, here. Porta-kennel trained for the first few months. I picked up my pup the first week of November. Just hated seeing that puppy face down on the floor looking up at me. Picked him up into my lap. He's now a 68# lap dog when I'm in my recliners; not allowed on any other furniture. He's a 5-1/2yo Weimaraner/Lab bird dog. Just remember: 1) The potty training is only a temporary thing 2) The kennel is a tool, but is also the pup's feel-safe home a. Don't use it as a punishment place b. Keep the door open anytime the pup is out 3) Anytime the pup comes out of the porta-kennel it goes outside to relieve itself a. Immediately after the reward/positive affirmation is given (key) b. Fun time and freedom comes next for 'x' timeframe you feel you have. c. Goes back in the porta-kennel where humans are If you repeat these three things above for a few months you will have extremely limited 'accidents' and your dog will learn potty training much quicker than any pad-ever-purchased method is.
