It's obvious that you are looking for input on how to deal with this situation. You will find that a lot of responses will be to not rub your poor dogs face in the mess. That is just not right. Just because it has worked (as you say) for other dogs does not make right. I would encourage you to not make a big deal over the accidents and do make a big deal over the correct behaviour. As someone said, have pee pads available if you don't want pee all over the house-let it be one spot that he will know is okay to go. I have 2 yorkies and 2 pee pads inside the house in case I do not make it home on time or get busy with something--and the get walked 4 or 5 times by 5 pm. I think of this way, they are little so their bladders are little. Set the dog up for success and you will have success. And I agree, that poor little guy is probably scared to death of your tone and how you are dealing with him. |
