I had taken him outside only about 15 mins before and he had gone pee. But, right before he pooped, he was really sniffing around, and I even thought to myself, "looks like he's trying to find a place to go", yet because I had just had him out, I second guessed my instinct and did not take him out again. I saw right away when he started, and picked him up and ran him outside, but it was too late. It put me in a bad mood because I want to do better. I felt lazy. I don't blame Ozzy.
It just sometimes feels like an impossible task to make this doggy understand that inside is not the place to go. As I think I mentioned, he has no problem going when he's outside. I'm just waiting for that "ah ha!" moment where he knows to go to the door and ask to go out rather than find a place to go inside. I don't know how long is usual for that to happen. |
I have a 4 month old Yorkie and he has been learning really fast with the belly band. He wears it in the house, and so after a while he realizes outside is for potty.

He sometimes goes pee in it, but I think it makes him uncomfortable so he would rather wait to go outside. It doesn't solve the pooping problem, but I think overall you're going to housebreak him quicker with this and have no pee smells in the house that will encourage him to go inside. I'm pretty happy with it so far. And 4 months, he likes to go outside to do his business.
Hope this helps!
