Tingling bells: New house-training method
McCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS
Tippy goes to the door and “dances” when she needs to be let out.
If Bonnie doesn’t see Tippy at the door, however, the Cairn terrier will eliminate on the throw rug in front of the door.
I believe this is less of a house-training issue and more of a cuing problem. Of course, Tippy should recognize that eliminating inside the house is not an option, but at the same time, her signal that indicates a need to go outside is not always effective. My strategy is to teach Tippy how to ask to go out in a different way. (more…)
