I have a year old yorkie that was living in nearly the same situation and was brought to us because he was peeing and pooping all over the house and in his crate, even in his food and water bowls! They crated him, he messed in his crate. She took him to the vet and they ran all sorts of tests which showed nothing. She took him to work with her - he pooped and peed in his carrier. They called a trainer, that didn't help. His mom loved him, his dad hated him........ because of the pottying in the house. they were fighting. She sat in her car and cried for 20 minutes before driving away.
It took me two weeks to potty train him. The only thing that was different in my house is that there wasn't any stress. His mom came to see him a few weeks ago and when she saw him she agreed.......... even though it broke her heart........... she had done the best thing for him and for her family.
I wish you all the luck in the world, but unless you confine the dog, use papers or pee pads and are consistent and stop the arguing...... the dog will never be potty trained. My heart goes out to you and to the pup. |
I totally agree. My Toto was already being pad trained when we got her at 16 weeks. She is still confined to her X-pen if we have to leave her alone. This is more for her protection than being afraid that she will potty in our house. She is completely pad trained, but she will still pee/poop in
other peoples houses [as you know]!! It's frustrating and she is almost 4 years old!!
