It think it has to do with his being so stubbern! Now we have female puppies 2 at 8 months old and 1 10 months old, they still have accidents some but they all will learn I know it can be done for Teddy and Tiffanie are trained and 3 years old now and Never potty in their beds!!! I know as soon as I'm up in the morning they are too, so I let them out to potty...Ours is litter box and puppy pad trained and they know to go potty as soon as I get up. Ours is only crated when I can't be in their room with them for a long time or at night, the older our pups get and understand what they can and can't do then none will be crated. So I feel once U get a real routine down and they grow and mature they will not potty. Time is the key...At least I feel. Hope this will help some. |
Sure it does hon and thanks for your post. But you know, as we know it to be a rule of thumb, some dogs never learn. Scooby the yorkie had done it up until the day before he died, he would do it outside when taken out, but his crate and bedding was a constant poo and pee place, some dogs never learn or they have some problems, many people on here are having that same thign, where the dogs are doing it where they sleep and they are not all infants.
