Ok, firstly I am glad that things are looking up for you and your little boy. Secondly, you have to remember that it is going to take time. You have to be patient with him, never touch him in anger, keep your voice to that cute tone that dogs love and treat him for doing something right.
Some babies are super sensitive and I know that it takes time for YOU to get used to that. I have a puppy now and although I get a bit discouraged sometimes with her potty training (she peed on my bed last night
), I decided to not get angry or frustrated.
Puppies are puppies and they don't have a lot of bladder and bowel control. He doesn't do it to upset you or because he doesn't love you, he is simply a puppy, honey.
It took me two years to potty train Cash and even now he sometimes has accidents (Funny thing is I made washable potty pads for June and now Cash uses them all the time (he used to use my bathroom rug). I am hoping that little June will see what he does (he gets treats after he uses them) and mimic him.
I understand that you are frustrated with him (I absolutely understand because I used to get soooo angry with Cash), but you need to prove to him that spending time with you is equal to having fun.
Sorry for the long post, but my last comment is that quick movement and harsh tones will make him fear you. Remember that he is a puppy (repeat this to yourself) and that he WILL get better with time.
Ps. You are both going to get much better with the clicker training! Best of luck.
