Re: [PyrNet-L] Need advice:

Judith, when we got Bear home from the rescue (we had to board him for 3 
weeks because our new house wasn't finished when the builder told us it 
would be-but that is another story). He didn't mind messing himself and our 
house.  We finally figured out that he did ever so much better in his crate 
at night in our bedroom.  He still barks like a maniac at the cyotes at 
night.  Sometimes it sounds like they are talking to him. but he is much 
better about sleeping since we put his crate in our bedroom-very crowded in 
there- but he likes it so we do too. Advice I got on this list for tolit 
training was to keep him on a leash next to me all day long and talk him out 
whenever and don't let him out of your sight.  that way you can catch him 
sniffing or circling or squating etc.. I started using key words and after 
he sniffs every single blade of grass he will go (usually).  Now he gets 
into his crate in the day time whenever he wants to be alone and nap.  good 
luck.  One last thing.  Once I bawled him out over a mess and that night he 
has diarrhea.  I figured it was nerves since he was in my sight and couldn't 
have gotten anything strang to eat.  Deanna
