Do not let him any where near the carpet. My breeder told me when I brought my pup home that he would have to earn his freedom rewards. We discovered what she meant when we had similar problems.
We also did not wait long enough for him to complete his business outside. We would bring him in praising him for going outside, only to find that he had more to do! We do not make that mistake any more.
In addition, if he did not perform outside, when we brought him in, his feet never touched the floor. He was placed in his crate or carried until we brought him back out.
We consistent.
Walk him always on a leash when you train outside. We did not use the pads, even though it was winter. We brought him where we wanted him to go and with the longer, retractable leash, he had some freedom to walk and sniff, etc.
Hope this helpful to you. Lots of luck. Hard to be so patient! |
