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. |
That's what I was always told, but, unfortunately, it's NOT true..Mine is almost 7 mos. and she still poops in her bed, and my daughter has her westie in a crate, and the dog is almost a year and still pees and poops in hers, and that's right after she's been outside and done her business..so, some dogs maybe, but, this is not true for all dogs..!
