Would this work to "retrain" your puppy? Milo is 9 months old and ever since we got him, he has been confined to a play pen with a pee pad where he poops and pees and when we let him out to play in the room, we leave the door open so he can go in and pee when he needs to and he does that most of the time (like...95% of the time when he's in the bedroom). Pooping is another story...he gets on the pee pad but he walks while pooping so it goes everywhere and it's gross even though we have a shower curtain laid down, which is why I'd like to start training him to go outside. Would this method work or would he go back to pooping inside the house once we stop using this schedule?
Also, for those who used this method, how long did you use the schedule for?
My goal is to take out the pee pad altogether and have him pee and poop outside, but still leave him in the playpen when no one's home until we can trust him to not chew on stuff (hopefully by the time he's a year old?). What are your thoughts on this?
Thank you!! |
