I do everything I can with my dog, when I catch her stooping in the floor trying to pee, I pick her up and take her outside, if that doesn't seem to work, I take her for a walk around the block, she still will not go, I use puppy pads inside because she will use them half the time, the dog will hold it's bladder no matter how long it takes until she gets inside and can finish taking a pee. She thinks doing it outside is a sin I guess. I have had it. My other half here doesn't want to take them outside early of the morning when he wakes up either, they sleep with him so he needs to be the one to put them outside, well I had to just replace our living room furniture, and now he let my male dog pee on the new set because it was too cold to make him go outside, so I'm probably going to take that couch out in the front yard and play lets burn, and he won't have anywhere to sit.
