I'll share something that worked for me when I got my new puppy 6 months ago. I had to leave him went I went to church or some store that would not allow you to take a pet in. First thing I did was to wear one of my old tee shirts for several hours so that it had my scent on it. I left it in his crate when I went out and I feel it comforted him Immensely. As for potty training I did not get him till he was 6 months old and now he just had his first birthday. When he reached one yrs old. it was like a light went off in his brain. He got it at last. TA DA! But before that, he was clue-less and I was doing everthing you're suppose to. It just took him longer then most. Hope this helps a little. |
