So twister turned 5 months on the 15th and we had a break through! He honestly hasn't had many accidents at all since we've had him, but the other night my sister and I fell asleep in her room watching T.V and we had Twister with us well I periodically woke up through the night cuz I couldn't sleep and Twister was always right between us, but when I got up around noon he was gone. So naturally I was worried about accidents and got up and searched everywhere for him, but he was absolutely nowhere. So asked my parents and they had no clue. Well went out back and guess who was down the stairs taking care of business? My parents leave the door in their room that leads outside open and he got up and went out without anyone noticing and pottied! I was sooo proud! YAY baby dog!

Thankfully he's been an angel. Our boxer was a nightmare to potty train and so was Abby, but Twister is awesome <3

I am also trying the bell at the back door. Although Lily came to us potty trained, I thought it was still a good idea. But she is not getting it. I am the only one ringing that bell, LOL.
Congrats to Twister for "getting it" and remembering to go outside to potty - Yay!

I was holding a treat behind the bell ribbon. At first she accidently rang it at which time I praised her and opened the door. Now she rings it to go play. Has not made the connection of going out to do her business. She's clean in the house only because I walk her every hour...
