I'm new to the board! I just adopted a 3 year old male (not neutered) Yorkie about a month ago from a friend-of-a-friend. She assured he was (and I assumed with him being 3) housetrained, well behaved, crate trained, yada yada yada.
Clearly. He's not.
Here's the issues I'm facing on a daily basis.
1. He poops in the house.
2. He marks his territory EVERYWHERE. I even bought one of those 'wraps' at Petco and he'll still hike his leg and pee on himself basically.
3. His former owner thought it was 'cute' that he 'gives kisses'... Meaning he'll jump up and lick everyone's face.
The crate training we've come very far with. He's doing VERY well. But when I adopted him I assumed I wouldn't have to start over like I had a puppy in my house. And I do.
I don't know what to do about him marking his territory. That's my biggest issue. I literally follow him through the house to keep an eye on him. I will get him fixed soon, but in the meantime I need some SERIOUS help.
Any insight on the potty issue for an adult dog would be MUCH appreciated. I love my little Bentley very much, but I'm also 7 months pregnant and do not have much time to 'whip him into shape'.
