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 |
The first lady screwed up. She was trained to piddle pads so she can still be trained to go on them. Don't give up. Don't let her have full run of the house, don't leave her alone if youre not there to catch her using the bathroom other places than her pee pad, and don't let her on your bed. You have to remember one thing, when a dog does something wrong, it's NOT the dog, it's the owner. Mine chewed up my leather sectional(it wasn't cheap), but, oh well, that was my fault, as if I didn't want them chewing it up, they shouldn't have been left in the house alone while I was out mowing, they should have been in the xpen. My carpet out here smells like dog pee, oh well, my fault again. This room is the dogs room, I just hope that I can replace the carpet sometime soon tnough, as it's also my computer room.
Dogs live such short lives and they bring so much joy. Things like couches and carpets can be replaced, but, when our babies go to the "rainbow bridge" they can't be replaced.
