It took weeks of constant vigilance, and several times he peed right in front of me and I didn't even realize what was happening!
That being said, many dogs do prefer to go indoors, for the same reason people like to - they want comfort and privacy. It sounds like you need to restrict your pup's movement more until he can be trusted. Do you have a crate or an xpen? I did not want to crate train Thor, but I am a 100% convert now. I believe this is the best way to train a difficult dog.
If he goes in the house after a long walk, don't give him that chance - carry him from your front door step to his crate. If he's not sleeping, outside, or in his crate, you must be watching him with BOTH eyes.
Good luck! Don't worry, you two will get there.  |
I have a crate, dont have an xpen tho.. His playground is the balcony, me and my bf are thinking to gate an area where we can watch him and if we see him about to go, just take him outside..If i put him in his crate for how long should I have him in there? He likes to play all times and I think that will be hard on him..
