Puppies for me were always taken out every two hours or with the other dogs so 'monkey see, monkey do' sort of thing.
Seal Team Cattle Dog house broke themselves by us putting in a dog door for them. The few accidents we had after that were dealt with by swiftly taking the transgressor outside to their run and leaving them there for 10 minutes before they were allowed back in. Only took one or two 'times out' before they figured out what was expected of them.
Well my problem rat was back at work again. New burrows this morning after no movement the night before. Bait is back out but DH really likes the gas down the rat hole and a tossed cigar (or match) idea. He's afraid he'd burn one of the coops down though if he tried that method.
