Hi All,
Baloo, our new Border Collie pup is now 17 wks old. We've had him for 2 weeks now. He's very good about doing his business outside when we take him out, but we still have the occasional accident when I miscalculate (like waiting a little too long after he eats or not keeping him outside long enough when I know he has to have a poop ready to come out). Today, he came and sat in front of me and barked, so I took him out and he peed and pooped. Maybe it was just a coincidence because it's the first time he's ever done it, but it also wasn't his normal poop time so maybe he really was telling me he had to go. He might be giving subtle signals at other times that we're just not picking up on, so I was thinking of trying the bell on the doorknob thing and I was wondering if anyone here has tried it lately and what results you've had. I searched on it but didn't find any recent posts. Thanks.
