| Losing my mind! Here is the story. My little guy, who was a rescue case years ago is still a pee'r. Hikes his leg on everything. It is making me crazy. I put a belly band on him but he always seems to get it off. I have tried many types too. The wrap around with a nice pad that you can wash, the narrow one you put a pad in ect. His story to preface the issue is,,,.,He belonged to a disabled gal who had a two story condo. She had issues going up and down stairs so she tied him to the leg of her bed on an 18 inch lead on papers. That was his life pretty much. So to this day he circles the direction he was able to move around in. Scared of his own shadow. Poor guy. He belonged to a client at a vet hospital I worked at. So I took him home. He is a 3 pounder. At the time he was 2 1/2. I tried to house break him, crate train, paper train ect. but not sucessfully. So I put out the puppy training pads and cover a large area on a laminated floor and end up with a lot of cleaning. He is now 6. I try not to get too upset about it but it is wearing on my nerves lately. There are 3 other small dogs that live in my home as well. So is there any other tricks to try to house train him at this late stage? Or should I go back to a crate and how would youi go about it? I work part time so not home all of the time. I love him to death but just about had it. Thanks for any input I really feel in my mind that it just is what it is and wonder if others have had any sucess with breaking the cycle at this age? |

| I don't know. Perhaps if you could ask others if they have had trouble with bb's coming off. I don't think I've ever seen anyone mention theirs had come off before. I would start there. Has he been neutered?

| Someone just told me yesterday that she puts suspenders on her yorkie's belly bands. She was visiting me and saw one of my pups rubbing his butt up against a wall to get his belly band off; and she told me how she solved the problem. I am going to try it! Here is a great link about housebreaking: Free House Training for Puppies and Adult Dogs - No More Accidents Starting Today!

| Yes he is neutered. Was when I got him. And he must somehow slip out of the bands as they are laying completely velcroed still when I find them. I put them on as tight as I think I can get away with. Little stinker |

| I would put him in an ex-pen when you can't be with him. Poor little guy. Probably much harder having other dogs around. |
