I have been trying to housetraining Freyja for 3 years. I started to train her on pee pads but got complaints from partner that house smells like dog pee all the time and is very angry about it. This has caused a lot of embarrassment with friends who have pointed out that our house smells like pee. Partner will not participate in any training because yorkie is "my dog". Freyja uses pee pads more or less reliable but she will still play with her poop and spread it all over our rugs if she isn't watched. I have sanitized, shampooed and scrubbed the rugs but she will still poop and pee on various rugs if i don't watch her, even after she has been let out and has pooped outside. I have confined her, crated her, walked her but she will still do her thing in the house. I have fed her on demand, on schedule, limited her water and/or food, and she still doesn't get it. Or maybe I don't. This has caused extreme family tension and I am frankly at my wits end.
Question: Is is time to give her away?
