You put a pad in the belly band..it's so they won't pee on anything, they go in it..this means when he lifts his leg, he won't be getting anything on your furniture..he can still poop out of it..Well, dogs sense things, he's scared first of all, and 2nd of all, he can sense the way you're feeling..you need to calm down!! 5 mos. is still a baby..dogs can hold their bladders(rule of thumb) one hour for each month..so, figure 5 hours for him..there are a lot of websites on housebreaking..I would def. get him fixed before he matures..If he's hiking his leg this early, most likely he already smells pee in places where your other dog has peed...Myself, I'm not big on crates, never have been, what I have bought is an xpen, I would keep him in that..you can put his bed at one end, food and water and pee pad(if you're going to use those in the other end..if you're going to take him outside, get in a routine..it's going to take time, love and patience! |
