Hi, Mr Red, I can't resist a doggy topic!! My Monty came from your neck of the woods. What is the dog doing now? Is she peeing by the door? how old is she? if she goes in the same place every time, then carefully placed newspaper will do the trick, and, when she uses the paper all the time, it can be moved to a more convenient spot. I'm sorry JTT, I'm not a fan of clicker training, but then, my dogs being collie/lab they are very signal orientated, and we only have to think about taking them out and they are on to it!! Monty, the rescue dog...his name reflects where he was found..is a border collie and had never been in a house before I got him, and it took a few months for an intelligent dog like him to get the message, but he was 5 when we got him, and, judging by the lumpy ribs, kindness had never been part of his training. Plus he only understood Welsh, but that's a whole nother story!!
