You have taught him to fear you but he still does not know that he is supposed to ask to go outside.
he methods that you are using are failing to convey the message to him.
Try something different and practice patience.
Try using a bell or some other touch method so he knows that when he does "whatever" you will let him out. and stop rubbing his face in it. that doesn't work. |
LOL! Jeanie and I agree on something! That rarely happens!!
Seriously, TRY the water trick. Put water on the floor/carpet and act like he did it. I guarantee he will run and hide. I just want you to understand he is not making the association you think he is. It's a COMMON misunderstanding and he's not even your dog so it's not like you two can read each other very well yet. That will come with time. Loki and I did 2 years of obedience and sometimes I know what he's thinking (and he knows what I'm thinking) just with a *look*
