Kiki's White Trash and or Nerdy Birthday Bash Funeral

I finally caved and bought the damn baby gates @BantyChooks
Spent all day yesterday deep cleaning the carpets. It's too much for him, I don't know what we expected. He lives on the kitchen tiles now.
So yea, we are essentially doing a hard reset on potty training. My kitchen entrances are jam packed with boxes until the gates arrive.. an obnoxious symbol of my failure.
Heh. Yes, come to the dark side, I mean the easy-cleaning side.
 
Not a failure! He's a baby! To make the future easier, try hanging a bell off the door handle where he goes in and out. Ring it every time you let him out, encouraging him to mouth it when you do. He'll get the idea and learn that, when he rings the bell, someone lets him out.
We've been bell training for two weeks or so now. He rang it today to go pee outside (yay!), then several times just to run around, and again just now only to watch me open the door and then go back to eating his food. Lol.
He understands that outside = pee but does not understand that carpet =/= pee.
Logically I understand that he's a baby, but in practice I am only human with a limited amount of patience. Thanks for letting me vent. 🙂
Oh look, he's ringing the bells again...
 
Sigh. I know.
I let him out just now to run around the house with Theia. Not 5 minutes in he squats in front of me. He'd JUST peed outside, but somehow feeling the carpet between his toes just makes him wanna let loose.
Oh no! I’m thinking maybe he’s somehow conditioned himself to thinking the carpet is a toilet? So I’m thinking it might help to maybe go back to basics a bit with him and retrain tomorrow break that association? :fl and in the meantime maybe tethered to you or in a crate or baby gated room?
 
Backpacking is a good way to see new country, stay in shape and lose weight. It is great conditioning for the muscles and legs.
See, I like the idea of it theoretically especially since I love hiking so much but just not sure I could do it physically 😂🤣 maybe if I get a bit more in shape first I could! :D
