I'm of the opinion that all dogs should be kennel trained for this very reason. I tell my pit "go to your room!" and she runs to her kennel and waits for me to come close the door.
funny you mention! This is exactly what I recommend every customer at my store. Easiest way to potty train a dog. My two yorkies don't get kenneled but leila and leo(my big 'ole beagle) are both trained when I say "go to your room" to go to their kennels and wait to be locked up. They have water bottles for water but no food til I get home. They have never once "used it" in their Kennels.
Glad to see you have a brain!
And thanks about leila. She's my baby. I'll post a video soon of her being a goof.
Thanks, yeah.. Her name was pretty instantanious and it just stuck. We usually just call her lee lee though. She is SO funny. She bounces everywhere and runs into crap a lot. Poor thing. 0 deph perception. I bought fry not too long after getting her. He was so goofy looking like the character and I though't it be cute to have matching names.
Oh yeah I would. People as you seem to know, are inherently stupid animals. Seems to be more true when dealing with the care of other animals. So yeah I can only imagine some of the questions you get. (so he needs to eat everyday?) The people on forums and other sources of information on the net are the minority.
