It's true - only time and consistancy will help. And also patience! Chico is just now housebroken and he's a year and a half old! Little 9 month old Bitsy caught on sooner because we're being more consistant with Chico - but I still keep a close eye on them. I was also very frustrated because my house smelled like dog pee, so I know how you feel. We took out the worst of the carpeting, kept steam cleaning the rest and just kept working with them. And I did my very best to not get mad at them because that does not help!
So it will get better if agree to keep your puppy and work together. Or you should both decide agree to re-home her and take the pressure off your relationship. And please don't feel guilty if that's your decision - it could be the best thing for all of you at this time in your life. |
