Everyone seems to be concentrating on one thing here. Taking water from
your pet.
That is not the intention of monitoring their intake until they are trained.
I, for one, would not live with a dog in my home that would pee or poop
where ever he pleased! You are truly doing your pet a favor by housebreaking
him. Every book that I read tells you how to monitor their intake of water
during this process. No one ever stated not to give them water.
If you want a dog that is well trained than patience and monitoring thier
intake of water is a must! When people say help he pees and poops all
over my house what do I do? Don't ask the question if you don't want to hear the answer! Well open a book and find out. Heavens knows
there's enough threads on this site on the subjuct as well.
There are hundreds of thousands of unwanted pets in shelters all over this
world because they can not be housebroken. Why, because people rather
complain than take the time to do it properly. A dog can not train itself.
The owner must put it on a schedule ( dogs love schedules) water must
be monitored. You can't put a pup in a crate with food and water or water
bottle hooked up to the create and not expect him to pee and poop where
he sleeps! He has no choice. You have set him up for failure.
I am not talking about a 9wk old pup. I am talking about a 3 month and up
pup. They should and can be housebroken by 5-6 mos if it is done properly.
This is my opinion. When I read some of the threads regarding a pet peeing
in the bed, on the carpet, on the furniture etc. I just can't believe what
is allowed to happen. It's not the pups fault it's the owner's!
Your pet will thank you for housebreaking him if you really want the challenge. |
