hi,
After vetoing a dozen of names, hubby finally came up with one that we are both happy with. We are going to name our mini silver boy Nickel.
Nickel won't be here until May 1 (tentatively). I have finished shopping for him. Now I'm trying to figure out how I should potty train him.
We live in a high-rise (so we have to go out of our unit, elevator hallway, elevator, small lobby then door to the street). We have a spare bathroom where I plan to put his litter pan. The desirable schedule (after training) will be: 20-min walk in the morning and 30 to 40-min walk before we go to sleep and he would use the litter pan during the day.
I work from home right now so I am able to carry him to the litter pan every 1.5-2 hrs. When he first comes home, should I start out by focusing on litter pan training so that he's comfortable using the pan? I am afraid I might confuse him by taking him outside sometimes and taking him to the litter pan some other times.
Any apartment/condo potty training suggestions welcome. Can't wait to meet my little guy.
