Hello again,
We have our now 10 week old male in an X-pen when he can't be supervised. At night, his crate is in there, open, and he sleeps in it. He has newspapers that he will go on during the night. He whines around 7am, just for company I guess. This morning, I took him out, and he went pee, so I gave him some "free time" in the living room with me. He went right over to the paper in the corner and started to poo. I grabbed him quickly and said "no", and took him out. He didn't finish outside, he came back in and pooped on the kitchen floor. Am I confusing him with the paper? I don't want to discourage him from using it if he needs to when we are not home or at night. We live on an acre of flat property, and he has the run of 1/2 of that, fenced in, so he could go out, but I can't leave him out if I have to go somewhere all day. Should we focus on training him to go out? He whimpered at me yesterday and I didn't catch on, then he pooped on the floor, what that a hint? HELP, we're confused...
Thanks
BTW-I'm working on getting his picture on the website.
