Ashley, I have read in a lot of books on potty training puppies, that the negitive attention given with disciplining for an accident is still a form of attention and therefore can actually make the problem worse. What you should do is if you catch him going to potty you say no firmly and then place him in the right area you have set aside for potty time. Praise him every time he uses the correct spot set aside for going potty This will get him wanting to go in the right place. I also agree with everyone who said to use a solution to clean up urine. I think your pup is drawn to the lingering odor that we might not smell but he sure can! I used Natures Miracle and it seemed to work great for us. Keep us posted on his progress!
I am so glad that the weather is nice this weekend, I have had Jeter outside a lot the past few day's and he is so funny out in the backyard rolling in the grass! I am so looking forward to school being out for my 4 boy's. We are getting a pool for the backyard and they have no clue yet! What a surprize it will be for them.
For all that congratulated me on getting my girl puppy, I am still searching for her, I have a few breeders that I am checking out but I think I should have her sometime in June
I knew Jeter's breeder and I just am checking everything out first before I jump in and get my girl. I have started to buy her things though and having had all boy's it sure is fun getting to get Pink things for Yumi Yasha! I think we would be dirt poor if I actually had a daughter that I had to dress, I was on a site looking at all the cut puppy dresses and oh how I wanted to get one of each dress!!
