You or someone else is going to have to start all over in training him and also if you can't keep him out of the crate into a secure room with no carpet, then things are not going to change for you or him. As it's going now, your only creating a very neurotic dog. I wish I could really help you with him, but we live too far apart. Maybe someone else on here can help. |
We go for walks 30 minute walks with my kids. He plays in the back yard with my daughter when weather allows. He is not in the crate 24/7, but we are trying to train him not to pee indoors. Even with going out every hour on the hour - and him being tethered to my belt loop whereever I go...he still cries when I crate him at bed time. IN MY BEDROOM next to me in the bed! I can't watch him while I sleep and he is 3.5 pounds. I don't want him to kill himself in wires or soemthing. It's ridiculous to think a puppy is safe roaming free in a house. I don't leave my 9 month child roaming free and I am sure neither do you!
