It sounds like you are doing everything right. I would worry about so many baths though, he might begin to associate bath with potty and it might dry out his coat. He will have good days and bad days. Persist with the plan -- praise good behavior and discourage inappropriate behavior. This seems like a simple thing to you, but to him, you have changed the game and there are new rules to learn.
My girls were pee pad trained as pups. They are now trained to go outside when I take them and if they need to go otherwise, they use the pee pads. I used to have two pee pads in the house now I am down to one. Since they love OUTSIDE they are learning to ask to go out.
Sounds like you are on the right track, it just takes time and patience -- lots of time and patience.
Good LUCK!!! Just be glad that we have Yorkies and not Great Danes!!! LOL |
