10 weeks old is young but only having had him for a week, and expecting him to be potty trained is wayyyyyy to high of an expectation. I think you may also be confusing him by trying to train him inside and outside. I think the outside will come more naturally later, but you have to kind of pick which one you want to start off with. He's ONLY 10 weeks. He doesn't understand what NO is or why your voice sounds so loud/scary. Unless you catch him in the act, it is useless to yell at him for something he won't understand. When they are older like past 1 year, they begin to understand you better but for now, you gotta just be consistent and patient. I used to sit on the floor next to Coco and her pad for hours on end. I would ignore my cell calls, the tv and everything else. I would sit there with her, at her pad forever, if that's what it took for her to understand the words "Coco do your business". She would whine and whimper and want to go play but until she would do her business we would just sit there. After about a month or a month and a half, it totallly clicked in her, that when I say those words, if she went potty, we would go and have fun and she would get treats. It will eventually click. Coco was potty trained at 4 months. |
