Hi,  I was so excited the other day when we were at home and Shadow rung the bell to go potty all by himself.  I got distracted here at work and couldn't share at that time.  Now, I have a situation.  I went over my boyfriends apartment this weekend with Shadow in tow.  I had his crate, his treats, his favorite toy and all the accessories.  I even stuck to his potty schedule that we have at home.  For some reason, he went on the floor at his place.  He would go outside and do both of his business but when we would leave him alone for even a little while he would sneak off and potty inside.  Because this isn't a comfortable area for me, my boyfriend takes him out for his late night potty and he won't do anything for him.  I have to do it.  Another thing is that the swiming pool is inside facing all the apartments in this small complex.  I found out that Shadow is a dare devil and absolutely LOVES the water.  However because this is the complex pool and not a private pool we couldn't let him enjoy it as much as he wanted to. 

As you can see I have 2 problems,  he is on the couch looking out the window watching us swim and he cries and howls like crazy.  I put him in his crate, he can hear the water splashing or us talking and goes crazy too.  Anyone with suggestions.  I want Shadow to get used to both places but until he is completely potty trained (which I thought he would be by now)   I may have to just endure.  Pleas any suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Thanks
