I want to start off by telling how much I love Maxo, he's a sweet little yorkie, but in the 4 years that i've had him, i've been unsuccessful in properly housebreaking him. I got Maxo when he was only 2 months old, I was rookie mom so I read every article online, listened to friend's success stories, etc. I dont know what I'm doing wrong, I'm desperate for help and hope some can help me! Maxo sleeps with me and my husband, sometimes my 2 year old son. He pees on basically anything that's in his way, walls, doors, corners, laundry basket, carpet, hardwood. When we're not home, he's put in a spare bathroom that holds his pet bed, clean water and food. While we're gone, even if its extended to 6 hrs or so, he won't pee or poop, or even eat or drink water for that matter. However, when we're home or sleeping at night, he'll sneak off and do his business all over the house. Giving him away is not an option, but I'm tired of cleaning his pee. Does neutering help? Any tricks anyone can share? Should I get a crate or is it too late? Do I need a trainer? Please please help! |
