I'm new to this forum.
My girlfriend and I just got a 11 week old boston terrier 2 days ago. His name is Igor. We are both on christmas break at college so we both have a week and a half off before we go back to school so we're training him by constant supervision.
First day we had him, he had a few accidents, and as soon as he did we said "No" and put him outside. We caught him in the act every time.
Second day, he had a few accidents in the morning (i did put him outside right after he came out of the kennel but didn't go after being out for awhile). Then at about 1 in the afternoon he finally went to the bathroom once outside. Then after every nap he took and about 10 mins after he would eat he would be put outside. After he would pee and/or poo, we would say "good boy" plenty of times and then give him a treat. A couple of times tonight he would pee inside (not very much) right after he peed outside.
We think he's doing pretty decent for his second day, but what do you think? Since most of you all have more experience with puppies than we do. How long do you think it will take until he starts to cry or such at the door when he has to go out? He does sleep in a kennel at night or anytime we are gone. When we go upstairs to make food or anything we take him with us and always have an eye on him.
So just any tips or anything would be great!
Thanks a lot!
