    I think signalling is a great idea, although I have never used it. A friend taught her two Bichons to do it with a bell at the door. My dogs always let me know when they needed out. We had a regular routine, but if a potty break was needed at some other time, restless pacing and trotting toward the door was a pretty clear picture. Never a problem. Worst thing is the sound of a dog beginning to retch and jumping off the bed at 4 a.m. Seldom managed to get outside quick enough!

    If you use a squirt bottle, you will only have to spray the b a few times before they get the message…at least, that works in my house.

    sorry for your lost, but they say when one door closes another opens,this you save another b..my 2 cent is we still have a 8 month old,and two labs which are of course house broken but getting a puppy… only thing i can say is be observant,tricks learned from here helped us out, we still keep a pee pad down, only once in a blue moon does she use it,shes learn to go when the other dogs go out , but if she been running around the house or rough housing with the others out she goes, learned that when she stops its time

    The absolute worst thing about this time change (aside from the lessened amount of daylight walk time), is that Stormie and Nikki were so used to their dinner being served at 6:30 PM. Now they start pesting me at 5:00 PM for dinner and they put on those, "PLEASE MOM! We're STARVING and wasting away to practically NOTHING" eyes! Ha! Little rugrats is putting it nicely! :D ;)

    Basenjis have desires, we have desires to get to work on time. You can feed your b twice a day and do a poop right after they eat. That will help. When it is raining or cold I just throw on my slicker and accept that I will be getting as wet as my B. You may want to try Muttlucks which are great waterproof shoes made for dogs in the water or snow.
