there are a few points :
*housebreaking
*freedom in the house (which kind of applies to housebreaking)
*leash walking
I think today after our 3rd accident, he has the point.
-we need a dog that goes promptly when given the opportunity (not that goes after walking around, because he won't always be able to walk around
-we need to be consistent in our tecnique with him, and reward him for a good size pee and prompt poop
I have been trying to work on loose leash walking without a training collar
-I have been stopping to offer bathrooms occaisionally with "go pee" and then aiming for a dog that walks in an informal type heel - we walk when we're walking, we don't sniff and zig zag everywhere; Wes prefers to correct if he he is close to hitting the end of the leash and told me that I was treating him like a slave or a prisoner.
I am discussing this here as a sounding board. I understand that the puppy can learn different behaviors for each of us (aside from the housebreaking where we both need to be the same). I just want to make sure I'm not being horrible

edit : I just realized this is in the off topic section! move as seen fit. ooops!
