Hi there. Congrats on you new little one. My babies are 14 mo, 3.7 lbs and 6 mos, 3 lbs. I try to walk them at least 2x, 3x a day totaling about 3/4 mi. I play with them throughout the day (as I am home with them). Now with the cold, I am trying to play a lot more with them as we only go for one walk at the warmest part of the day.
I have kept mine on the pads because my schedule is eratic and I wanted to make sure that they had access to pottying when I couldn't make it home to take them out. I would think that you could get your little one potty trained, it will just take a little longer and a lot of patience.
Each one has had puppy class, as a matter of fact tonight is Maggie's last night. I have seen a transformation of each from the start of classes to the end. They are very social as far as wanting to sniff and jump on other dogs so they were bonkers at the beginning of class and now they are much calmer when we go to class. I took Hot Rod everywhere with me when he was a pup so he's very much a people person. Maggie has not been as exposed since taking two would be too much but we do go to daddy's office at least once a week.
As mentioned, your little one may just be a little out of whack from being in a new home. I am sure that with time he will settle in and down and everything will fall into place. Remember, his routine in his little world is different now, he will have to start from scratch to figure out where and how he fits in. Just give him lots of love and attention (as it sounds like you are already doing). Good luck. |
