Training the Willful Puppy

Finnegan in the Snow

Finnegan has become the definition of a willful puppy. He is strong willed and is fighting his potty training at every turn.

Chris and I thought we had turned the corner on house training. Then the snow and cold returned.

The small Yorkie does not like the cold snow. 

He was good with it in New York and was a potty-trained champion, but upon returning to Maryland he has definitely regressed. 

Jeremy did us a favor last evening by retrieving the dogs for a playdate with Lucas. Finnegan resisted pooping (notice that this word is much softer than the one allegedly uttered by the President) until he was in Jeremy's house. He performed this act almost immediately upon going inside.

This has to change. 

The joys of training puppy continue.

We have the "mad pooper!"
