IMO-
If you're trying to have him go outside, and only outside, I'd remove any of the old temptation for him to use the paper. I know training regression in these munchkins is common, but consistancy as well as a positive attitude is key. I know it sounds stupid, but it's kind of a self fufilling prophecy. If you give up, like you said, he will give up.
Make a schedule and stick to it. Example, my husband gets up with Gizmo at 7 every morning and take Giz out, feeds him, and then brings him back to bed. At night, he get's fed at 7:30 and is taken out before dinner and after dinner. We always stick to that schedule and don't deviate from it. Sounds like your baby may press your buttons too, because he knows from last time that you'll cave.
It's not going to be easy, but I'll send some prayers your way and make Gizzy cross his paws. Good luck! Keep us posted! |
