My yorkie went through the same thing. He started off as an angel then within days of his neutering he turned into a little terror. He eventually grew out of it, I'd say it took about 6 months. He still tests his limits once in a while but he knows what he can and can't do.
Example, I always wash his laundry once a week. Once I was his blankets and bedding in hot/hot water with free detergent and baking soda, then I dry and put the warm bedding back into his crates. Then I usually put him in his crate with his fresh bedding while I finish my laundry and housework. Once he's in his crate, I'm locking the door, he turns around, looks directly at me, and pees all over his bedding. I correct him by saying "No" and he cowers in the corner. I proceed to rewash everything and the second him he proceeded to pout. During the rewashing he stayed in his crate with no bedding since it was all wet! He's done this once in his crate and once on his freestanding bed. He's done this once.
He's also peed on my bed, pooped on my bed, peed on ME, peed on my boyfriend's foot and peed on our couch across the entire thing! During this time he wasn't using his weewee pads or his litter box. He'd jump into the litter box or walk across the pad then walk across the pen/room and pee on the carpet.
He's gotten better, TONS better. He used to sleep in his crate at night because he'd pee on the bed or on us, but lately he's been wearing a belly band and he's been sleeping in the bed with us...he wakes me up at night when he needs to go, which is almost every night. He's come along way.
Keep it up, I'm sure your little one will get over his rebellion eventually. |
