[NAGDU] Wild to pee

[Lisa Belville]

Hi, Tracy, you may have answered this before, but have you made sure Krocus 
doesn't have some kind of medical issue that makes him thirsty?  It could 
just be that he likes to drink, maybe it's some kind of competition thing 
with Ben, but if it's not that, there might be some medical reason why he 
drinks so much, especially now that it's cold.  I don't think even very dry 
conditions in your house during winter would make him that thirsty.

I hate to say it, but if he's pulling on you that hard it might not be an 
obedience issue, but just that he has to go so bad and wants to get to his 
spot before he goes where he knows he shouldn't.  Okay, it is an obedience 
thing, but not where he's deliberately pulling you because he's distracted 
by something in the environment.

Lisa
