So here is my dilemma, I have a 2 yr old female Yorkie named Princess... henceforth why I named my username after her lol.
So anyhow I had a pretty good training with Princess she had her issues but overall in the years we have had her, she's been great and is able to go to her pee pad no matter where she is and take care of business!
Now I have a male Yorkie named Bronx he's about 11 months old and we have had him for 8 months to date.... he's always been a fairly good dog loves to be babied and rolls over so u can rub his tummy.... but now for the past few months after the strenuous training to get him to pee on the pee pad he is starting to pee on my white walls.... assuming its because of the white pee pad lol.
Also during training I made sure to scold him if he made mistakes and correct it, and put him on time out..... so in that time its turned for the worst, seems he has fear of me and anytime I call him or try and grab him he will roll over and just pee away.... no matter if he just went potty hell pee away! Sure I understand out of excitement when i get home he pees, which I have no control over and have to turn thee other way.... but this is becoming an issue with me and my family and don't know what else to do.
So I turn to u guys.... please give me some opinions on my dilemma and what I can do... assuming he needs my trust I think. |
I wonder if you have reviewed the threads in the general training forum. But as you self described that your young male is now fearful of you, you will need to rebuild the trust of your dog.
One cardinal rule of discipline no matter the nature of the discipline is to never call your dog to you to be disciplined. Instead you walk over to the dog to discipline.
Also some dogs are what are known as "soft" and some "hard". And this has nothing to do with breed or sex. A soft dog needs a different kind of discipline than the "hard" dog. As the name implies soft means that discipline needs to be finely tuned to just the right "level" for a soft and or insecure dog. Never heavy handed or too loud of a voice.
