Lets talk doggy "doo-ties" :)

So most people want ta know... "Is this dog potty trained"???
Even if I would say "yes"... that might only apply to my house. Mr Perfect here may be stressed or nervous or just doesn't know where the door is when he leaves here and enters your "home-sweet-home". 
So is Bronx potty trained? Well, kinda but I have a system I try to follow where it's harder to make mistakes. Plus he is young so he could be doing great one week and forget what he seemed to know the next. He is still a "kid"! :)
Here...
All dogs go out first thing upon getting up. All dogs go out shortly after eating meals. All dogs go out after play time or after long naps. Often foster dogs drag leashes inside, are baby gated from the upstairs carpet, watched closely and boy dogs often wear belly bands till I know they are not leg lifting "markers" or sneaker offers to make a mistake. Plus owning other dogs that can "show the foster pups the ropes" on potty training 101 helps lots too!!! Once I'm confident the foster is "golden" the leash comes off, belly band comes off and lastly gate comes down. (each foster is unique but that's pretty much the scenario)

Here is Bronx going on his "after eating walk". Since he didn't do his doo-ty in the yard I took him on a walk around the block. (It worked) Hee Hee!


Back from his walk he is greeted at the door by Parson n Asti and a treat awaits when we get inside!!! Look at that cute Bronxy face!! Awwww!
 
Here is a pic of Bronx in his styling lumber jack plaid belly band! Velcro ends for easy on and off with a pad inside. (His B-band is dry, by the way) Bronxy is on his way to success!
