this is becoming a pain in the butt because i have carpet all through my house.. and i just got new carpet.. and now i need too get it clean..
i bought pet carpet cleaner but coby still goes on the floor no matter
how many times i tell him no and have him sniff the poop..i then bring the poop back too the wee pads and have him sniff again but this doesn't help i tried putting him in his kennel when he dose this and when i let him out he'll do it again on the floor? |
Never use the kennel for punishment or they won't ever want to go in their kennel, it should be their safe haven, not a punishment. When you are taking him out of his kennel put him on the spot you want him to go, and reward him with praise and a treat for going. Don't let him have a big area to play in, if they are too far from a pee pad, they aren't going to seek it out. We have wood floors in part of the house and carpet in other parts, and I can tell you it's much harder to train them with carpet, they think of it as a giant pee pad, and it's really important to get all pee scents out, so use an enzyme cleaner when he makes a mistake. When he's out of his crate, he should be closely supervised, and placed on a pee pad if you see circling behavior.
