The lady that got Abby had another dog that was trained to go out a doggie door and so she expected Abby to follow it's steps and she took away the pads. For three months she kept Abby and then decided that she couldn't get her trained and gave up.
My co-worker asked me if I would take Abby and of course I couldn't pass up her beautiful little face. I went and bought pee pads and also took her outside every couple hours with my other dog Molly (german shepherd). Abby seemed to be doing really well at first going outside and having an occasional poo accident.
Well then my husband got re-employed and we could no longer take her out every couple hrs so she resorted to pee pads really well just a few accidents. Now all of a sudden she is using the bathroom on pee pads, area rugs and even our bed. I just don't know what to do my husband is really getting irritated and threatening to find her a new home, but I just can't phathom
that so pleeeease help |
Welcome to YT!
I agree, i think your pup is confused. so many options that weren't thoroughly followed through. What you need to do now is confine her to a small area with her pee pads so she learns that she needs to potty on them only and not the area rugs or other carpet. OR if you want her to go outside, you can confine her to a small area like a crate when your not home and immediately let her out when you get home. the crate shouldn't have any room in it for her to potty in one area and sleep in another. i did this with my yorkie when i first got her at 12 weeks and it worked wonderfully.
like previously mentioned, there are tons of threads on housebreaking here so read up! and good luck!
