Pepper has never lived in a home before, so housetraining is a new concept for this shy guy. We've been struggling a bit because Pepper is not used to being on a leash, let alone pottying while attached to one. This is really common with shy pups. They like to potty in privacy. I don't blame them really.
We've been taking Pepper outside on a 30 foot training lead after meals and every few hours so that he can have more space and gradually ease into being on a lead. He is starting to get more relaxed in the yard, but gusts of wind and dark evenings are still scary for him. This morning we had a HUGE breakthrough! Pepper peed outside! That is a great moment and now he seems to understand that we do our business outside. So only more progress to come!
