I am very happy about a few things with Ozzy. #1 - he does go outside, and usually pretty fast. #2 - he sleeps all night and doesn't have to wake us up at 2 or 3 a.m. to go outside. #3 - i sense he has a real desire to make me happy, which works in my favor as far as training goes.
It's still stressful to me when he does go inside though. Then I feel bad because I don't want him to feel my frustration. I think my boyfriend will be happy when he's potty trained too... it puts me in a really bad mood when Ozzy has accidents. |
I could have wrote your post. Ella is exactly the same way as your Ozzy. I started training her inside and couldn't stand the pee in the house so switched her to outside - she loves to please us and get a treat and she sleeps all night till 7 or 8 am. She has been home over a month and I feel like a failure too with the potty training! My last dog - a golden retriever- trained in 2 days. I feel like I am trained to take her out and if I get distracted or whatever, she will go in the house. I am really hoping she gets it soon. She will be 16 weeks tomorrow. I am praying she is at least trained by 6 months........
