we're no experts on the issue as we've only had humphrey for a week and he is just 8 weeks old. However, what we did was buy a small pet carrier and a large crate, the crate has pee pads everywhere and he has enough space for food, water and toys. If i let him out, he will pee on the floor, so we opted for keeping him inside the crate and leave the carrier's door open in case he wants to go in for a nap. So far, he has chosen a corner to pee and we always make a HUGE deal out of him peeing on the same spot (clicker, treat and a cuddle). He is such a smart puppy, the breeder was some guy who let his 10 dogs roam free around his flat and they'd pee and poo wherever they felt like...the first two days Humphrey was just a monster and left presents EVERYWHERE. My husband takes him out for 1 hour walks in the morning, after lunch and before bed, he rarely pees but he will always poo... we haven't had a poo incident in over 4 days. It seems to us he doesn't like going poo in the crate (which is great because for such a tiny baby he sure knows how to stink up a room) |
