JLS Dalmatians: Doviggy Litter: December 2014

We had a beautiful 70 degree day the other day and I took advantage of it and took puppies out on the deck for a bit, just to introduce them to the great outdoors and their future potty area. That was on Sat I believe. A couple of the pups now want to go outside to potty and sometimes even poo. Most don't get it just yet, but it is a start of potty training. :)

WOW just had three pups in a row wake up and come to the front of their pen and stop. I picked the first one up and took outside and YES! Potty outside! From someone who has been non-stop in bleach water and laundry (wipe rags) for weeks I am THRILLED to say the least. 2nd pup wakes up, comes to front of pen and looks at me. I pick him up and take him outside. POTTY again!!! WHOO HOO! Girl wakes up and comes to front of pen and looks at me. I pick her up and take her outside.. Potty #3 in a row! We are on a roll, but I am going to be very tired if I have to do this one at a time for all nine pups! Okay you won't believe this... another pup woke up and was walking around. I ask "You want to go out to potty?" And she comes up to the front of the pen (that is where I can pick them up) and I take her outside and YES! 4 potties! But while I was gone the other girl woke up and went on the newspapers. Oh well... was on a roll with 4 in a row.

Of course when you take them outside to potty, you give the Potty command... I say "go potty" and keep repeating and then they go I say in a happy voice GOOD POTTY!!! YEA! You are the best boy/girl and say their name. They get so excited that they did a good thing for you to make you so happy. It's a party! :)

It's the little things and puppy kisses that keep us going...
