Training Nixon

Nixon has been HORRIBLE about house training. Or really I guess I should say I have been horrible about it. But today I feel like we made a little progress. No pee on the floor all day! Poop is still a different story, but we are getting there.

Today, I started by setting the timer for an hour each time he goes out. That way he gets out often enough and he has even started going to the back door every time the timer goes off! YAY!! As soon as he goes, he runs to me for a treat now...so cute.

Also, we are training him to 'come'. Chuck has a dog whistle and every time one of us blows it he comes running and gets a treat. He is doing great and will come even if he is busy chasing the cat (who hates him, lol) or looking at the goats. I have dreamed of having a dog that will listen and it seems like it might be coming true! I am crossing my fingers :D I want one of those dogs you see on the beach playing or walking with it's owner off a leash. We need to work on some cool tricks too!!
