They explain how to use a crate for house training too.
Also I think you said that you are using vinegar to clean up the accidents, do not use it, it smells a lot like pee thus not getting rid of the smell and leading the puppy to belive that it's ok to pee their. OxiClean solution or Natures miracle works great as a cleaning product.
Also do not scold the puppy when it has accidents in the house, even a negative attention as scolding is, it is still a form of attention and the dog will then in a way be trained to use the house because it got attention in some form.
Good luck, and remember that he is still a puppy even at 5 months old! |
Sure I have, I have raised at least a dozen or more puppies in my lifetime. I have never raised two toys before. And I have never raised and that were not infants. This is the first time. I am patient, I am listenint to you all and I have been implementing it. He jsut arrived less than 15 hours ago. I have to note his pattern and frequency. He seems to be going every 45 minutes to an hour, strange for age 5 months. But then again, my Pom has reverted back to infant going each hour as well.
The yorkie just peed on the paper in his room and tried to poo on the carpet, husband caught him in time. One thing I can say is this. He is inhaling the food, even tho I am feeing him alone. Literally inhaling the kibble without chewing it. That to me is definitely a dog who had to steal food or scavange for food. He has a great appetite and will eat anything. My pom is still picky but ah well. He will get there eventually.
They are separated again, as they seem overwhelmed with eachother.
How long do you all think it takes for the newbie to get accustomed to the other dog and the other way around?
