He is very happy, and with gentle guidance and positive reinforcement, nothing punative, he finally potty trained. That's probably why he was so abused. Sadly, many people don't know how to gently train a resistant puppy.

Positive reinforcement is *so* much better for training. Good for you, for using that.

bravo. Our rescue sees more than necessary number of dogs returned like your little guy.
I maintain "many owners suck, but not all. Rescue people make it right where ever possible."

Now, every time he goes outside to use the potty (we have a doggy door and fenced-in yard), he races inside to the love seat nearest the kitchen for his treat. It's adorable to watch. Smiling and wagging that bushy tail.
