training bubo

bubo sleeping
bubo is very smart and obedient for a puppy. unfortunately he’s not trained to use potty properly indoor. he seems to understand he shouldn’t poop at home so he tries to give signals when he needs to go. once outside he’s too busy playing than pottying. that’s usually a problem. we’ve spent a lot of time with him over the weekend esp. andy. a few times bubo didn’t poop until he gets home from playing outside. he never had an accident on the carpet since we tend to confine him around the kitchen area where the floor is plastic. there are 3 different sections.
first the laundry room is where bubo is confined when he’s asleep.

he can play in the kitchen when we are around

the third (is now proven not working) is suppose to be the area he’s confined when we are out of the house.

he certainly got himself OUT of there when i got home today. he probably went through this hole:

since he’s so tiny.
bubo doesn’t like to be confined. no dogs would. but we have no choice. so he whines and gets very nervous when we leave him confined. many times he pissed right before the gate. poor bubo.

it’s not too bad tho. he seems to cope with it.
