Ok so we are crate training and all is well...so far. We have even instituted a bell at the door so that Snickers can let us know when he needs to go out. The only problem is, he will ring the bell sometimes just because he wants to go outside, but not because he has to potty. How do I teach him to use the bell only for potty times?
Also, he is crated during the day while we work (he's 7 months old now) and he holds his bladder fabulously! I want to work on letting him stay at home by himself *out* of the crate, but I think he will potty in the house once he realizes noone is there to let him out. He will hold it in his crate, but he won't try to hold it around the house! How do I teach him that the house is his den too, and that he shouldn't potty in it?
Help is appreciated, thanks!!
