:wink: I know he might cry a lot and that it sounds really bad but CRATING will save you TONS AND TONS of problems...after he gets the hand of what his boundaries are crate training is your best option..if you really don't wanna crate, try completely limiting his space..a play pen or x-pen were he has a pee pad, toys and bed...even when you are there..take him out only as a treat.. :wink: hope that helps and good luck! :wink:

A Play Pen works great! You should really consider making one, or buying one. My Mom was fostering a chi who wasn't quite potty trained and it seemed only a couple of days she learned that it was wrong. The play pen she set up is like 3 feet by 2 feet and easy to fold and put in the closet or under the bed. While my mom was at work the chi wouldn't tinkle or anything until she let her out. She works a 9 hr job as well. I think because of the limited space she didnt want to do anything because thats where she slept and ate, she didn't want to walk in her own ...icky stuff.. lol! But its something you should really consider, I'm most definitly making one for mine. I can ask my mom how she made hers and let you know if you want.
