It sounds to me like Bandit's breeders or first family didn't keep his "den" area clean so he became accustomed to playing and sleeping in waste and never learned that potty is for outside of his "den" area. Usually pups learn this from their mothers and litter mates, but it's hard to learn this if the "den" isn't cleaned regularly. :-( Luckily, he has you for his mommy now and you care about helping learn where to do his business. :-) Hang in there-- he WILL get it eventually! |
