Like everyone above me stated if he is not nuetered then he should be.
It really does help.
If he is you really need to start from scratch.
Keep him gated in an area and put him on a schedule. Schedule for
potty outside is very important. I would not allow him free roam
unsupervised. After drinking water he should be taken out in 20min.
just like a puppy would and eating in about 1/2 hr.
A special treat should be given to him each time he potties outside.
Such as a little piece of liverwurst or a piece of boiled chicken.
This treat is to be used only for this purpose.
If you work during the day and he is home alone, no food or water.
You are defeating the purpose and can't expect the pup to hold his
water until he trains his bladder. He will be fine as long as he is not
in a hot house. He should not be given water in the pm for at least
1/2hr before his last walk at night which should be around 10.
Dog's love schedules and learn them fast. IMO it is the only way
to housebreak a pet. Once they are trained you can play with the
schedule within reason.
Good luck |
