As for the accidents in the house... yikes! You might have to go right back to square 1 and re-train. One of the dangers of the puppy pads is that they teach a dog that it's okay to pee in the house. Try to get your baby to go potty outside. Go for extra long walks. Get him to the point where he's lifting his leg to pee and nothing is left. THEN he can be trusted to run around the house loose. The rest of the time, keep a watchful eye. NEVER take your eyes off him.
I'm willing to bet that as time passes the 2 dogs will bond and you'll see a lot of the acting out will stop. GOOD LUCK!!!! |
Sorry, I don't agree that potty pads teach dogs that's it's ok to potty in the house. Mine have been potty pad trained from day one and that is the ONLY place in the house that they potty!! I live in a very rainy climate and it's no fun walking 3 white dogs in the rain and mud! I will always say potty pad training is the way to go, unless you are home and can walk your dog all day and night long! I can't!
