Hi there - I just wanted to say good for you for adopting a rescue... I just adopted a yorkie from a rescue exactly 4 weeks ago today! His name is Trooper and he was fixed, but had a problem with marking... I've been trying to be very consistent about him being with me at all times so that he doesn't do it. Sometimes he goes to give a squirt and I just raise my voice a bit and say "no, go outside", and then bring him outside to pee. I've never had a male dog that did this before, but I think I've made pretty good progress in the month that I've had him. I still might find the odd teeny tiny puddle in the house, but it's alot better from the first week. Just consistency will help him learn. Good luck, I hope all goes well for you both. |
