Puppies take ALOT of work... you can't stick them in a kennel or playpen and expect them to pick up potty training one day. You have to socialize them, make them trust you, use positive reinforcement and then they will get it. I had a very hard time with puppies when I worked. I would come home for lunch and not get to eat because I was taking the dogs out to go potty. Is your puppy confined to a small space while you are out? If not, do so - but as soon as you get home take him out. Do you take him to potty after each meal or in regular intervals? It does take work... but it can be done! Good luck. |
