Sorry SnowWa, I am going to go with FirstYorkie and Yorkie Mum and Livingdustmops on this subject. I know your frustration. I have had a dog that even after years, refused to be completely potty trained. Was it my fault? I think it was for the most part. I used the methods you are still using and it didn't work. I have never lifted a hand even in a pat to my yorkie and she is smart enough to figure it out over time. Did I say 'no' to her? Sure, at first, but quickly found it not necessary after learning other methods to use.
Most dogs learn to 'indoor pee' out of 'spite and fear and upsets', unless there is a physical problem which you might want to check into. Males can also get infections, and I'm sorry but I also think that some dogs are smarter and some not so smart. I've had them all. |
