particle77 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 There are two parts to my system. First I choose a command, and always say it whenever I see Earl start to wiggle his butt. Then I praise him afterward. Second, when I'm about to take him out of his cage, I often stand outside, and say the command a few times. I'll usually wait up to 15 minutes, at which point I'll just take him out anyway, as its cutting into my time with him. However if he does go, then he gets praised some more. Now that he's starting to understand this system, he sometimes wiggles his butt, like he's going to poop, but doesn't. I take this as his way of assuring me he doesn't have to go, and take him out in response to that action as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
