We have the same problem with our puppy, Walt. He cannot hold his pee over night so instead of putting him in his crate where he would go and we'd have to wash everything in the morning including him, we put him in our tile bathroom and he goes on the puppy pad, which is great!
However, we canNOT get him to go outside all of the time. One day he'll do really well but the next it'll be like he's forgotten everything he's learning. He hardly ever poops in the house but he pees SO MUCH. When he does go outside we praise him like he won the olympics and give him a treat... Will it ever click with him? What can we do differently? He's 4 months old... When will he do better???
We got him a "simple solution" It's a cloth that goes over his middle section and he DOES go to the door with that on and will go outside... But when we take it off he thinks he can pee anywhere in the house. Will we always have to keep this on?
Also, it's hard for us to keep him on a scheduel because we both work full time... Any advice would be VERY much appreciated. |
