When was the last time she was let out for the night? maybe if you had let her out before heading to bed she wouldn't have pooed in her bed.
I didn't get a lot of time at the apartment over Monday because of duties at school and a second test I took today. I came home yesterday for a nap and went back to campus to study and meet with a design team because I'm a TA for the Senior Design projects.
Did you let the poor dog out before your nap/after?
I studied until about 5 am and was in bed about 6, got up about noon so I could take my test at 2:30 - fiance left at 2 so we were pretty much following each other out the door.
Again, who took out the pup? Where was play time?
I got done with the exam and met another group for a lab session to figure out the report. I get home at 7 so I can pack and go home to do the holiday and work in my shop to keep the business going. I came in and Bdog messed the crate again.
Well, when was the last time she went out to do her business?
I got her out and put her on the leash. All she wanted to do was hug the ground and submit - and before anyone says anything, this is what she does to my fiance or anyone that handles her when she makes a mess.
Well, what kind of punishment was put upon her when she was first being potty trained. It sounds like something pretty awful.
She knows she did something wrong or that is not acceptable.
How do you know? Can you read doggy minds? Maybe she's thinking, shoot there's that guy again, I smell tension, oh no! I'm in trouble again!
It has nothing to do with 2 swats on her nose...and while I'm on that subject, you would think that I tried to knock her into next week when I did by your responses- I'm pretty sure it pissed her off a lot more than it hurt her. I know I'm a lot bigger, but I for darn sure know I can hit a LOT harder than I did with an open hand.
That sounds pretty bad anyway, the way you're defending your actions. Many guys state similar things when they get sent to court for beating their wives "well it was with an open palm, I could have done much worse"
There are a lot of nerve endings in a dogs nose, a simple tap could cause a pretty good amount of discomfort, let your fiance open palm slap your "jewels" let us know how good that feels. I bet it hurts and angers you at the same time.
Anyway, so she's submitting and walking as low to the ground as possible so I take her over to the carpet and try working on sit....all she wants to do is submit and say "I'm sorry." More like, please don't punish me.
I keep trying to get her to sit up...nothing, lay on the back, belly up. I try shake....nothing. So I get out a treat - you could see the confusion on her face. She started to try the submit into a roll over...like she was saying "sorry... but can I have that???" Hahaha, it was pretty funny - you had to be here.
Sorry, I don't see the humor here.
She's laying in the kitchen right now - I swear I smell dog poo, but it's probably left over from the crate. I can't see her, but I can hear when she's moving - plus, I'm done for the Thanksgiving recess so I'm not doing homework.
Since you're not doing homework, maybe a nice long walk with her would be better than playing around on the internet?? Maybe??
What do you all think, good plan?
P.S. I didn't do anything, not even scold or looked cross at her for the mess - I didn't even mention it to her or speak under my breath. I'll probably not clean the crate to help reinforce my fiance's involvement with this...I don't want her thinking I am going to be there to clean it if she won't keep to the schedule and training....hahaha.
Well, that's probably why you smell dog poo.
