hi!
i keep him in the laundry room with half of it papered and he manages to pee on the other half of the room. i had tried crating but he would pee in it, too. i am a stay at home mom and am home most of the time so i have the time to devote but i can't give 24/7. i am thinking of getting one of those pens and putting it in the middle of the living room so i can see him 'in the act' and praise/scold as needed. when he's in the laundry room i cannot see him. i have a see thru gate up but it's at the corner of the house. when i let him run free i put a belly band on him and make sure he has pooped after his last meal. if not he goes wherever. i may have ruined him with the belly bands cause i don't know when he's going unless he hikes his leg and then i yell as it's NEVER on the paper. i put an empty coke box in the laundry room until i could get it out to the garbage and of course when i went back he had peed on it so i moved it to the paper and yippee, he peed on the box which was on the paper! does this mean i should put something in there for him to hike his leg on and he will use the paper if it's on it??
he's not fixed as he has the sweetest disposition in the world. he is such a lapdog that i was thinking of breeding him. don't know for sure. |
