 Don't give up....
I have watched training shoes where the trainer puts the dog on a leash and attached it to the owner's belt when the dog was out of the crate or ex-pen. This seemed to work when you were doing house work and could not keep your eyes on the little one....but the little stayed with you..... This may be something you want to try before giving him free run of the house again. Both of my Yorkies were trained when I got them but we did have a few accidents during the adjustment period. But, I had a dachshund one time that I had lots of problems with. We did the leash thing mentioned above and it really helped out. I hated to crate him just because I could not stop to watch him. This worked great! Hang in there. It is just like potty training a child....some catch on earlier than others. For some, it takes a long time with lots of sweat and tears along the way! It is worth it in the end! |
