The only things I could say to try you likely have already tried, but I can assure you are not the first, the last, or the only one who's had some kind of puddle trouble from the canine kingdom. Please...please-please-please-please-please...do not feel it is
your fault your Peanut shares a different sense of correct potty habits than you like. If they were all perfect, the mop and doggie diaper folks would be out of business, you know!
Sometimes they have difficulty differentiating between which texture is a potty texture and which is not, too. Sometimes they just don't seem to wanna...!
I had a 'Doodle' who was meticulously trained for outdoor potty. I say that like it really happened when in fact
the training DID happen, but the
learning/compliance did NOT! I had a fenced back yard I took him out in and I swear he would wait..legs crossed...however long it took outside for me to
believe I must have just not seen him puddle and that he could not have held it
thaaaat long and let him back into the house...hours, even...whereupon he would run to the hallway and flood the area.
He also never quite grasped how the game of 'fetch' is played. Oh, he'd chase the ball, all right, but would put it down and run back without it...and you couldn't 'trick' him into bringing it with him. His idea of "fetch" was for me to go get the ball wherever he'd laid it down.
He was a gorgeous long-haired sweetie...but a defiant little lovable rascal. I don't now if he would have ever 'got' it...he passed as an adolescent after a guest let him out front where he met the 'wrong' parts of a car.
I trained dogs before, and after him with complete success...but not him.
