He wont pee or poo anywhere else BUT in our house or on our street, so I guess that's a good thing.
Probably wasnt the best idea to get a puppy going fall into winter, but what's done is done. Tried the soda bottle hydrant.. actually a champagne bottle, which terrified him and he stopped going to that pad. Was a cheap champagne.. maybe I should try something imported ? :>(
He does lift his leg on the artificial Xmas tree, so maybe we'll leave it up until April, when the weather finally turns.
BTW, what's a bellyband? |
Sorry things aren't going well. I use really big pee pads, and that helps. Some people say it's good to tether them to you so they never get a chance to make a mistake. When I was training I had lots of pads easily reachable.
Ha ha, maybe you could buy one of those small Christmas trees?
A belly band is a piece of material that is Velcroed around their middle, and holds an absorbent pad. It's not to be used for housebreaking it's more to be used if you dog is unneutered and marks. Marking and peeing are different. A dog will try to mark to leave his imprint, he pees when his bladder is full. Joey’s neutered, but I use them if we are going to someone else's house who has a dog. I don't want Joey leaving his scent; we then take them off if the dogs go outside.
