It sounds like this little guy will need alot of time to learn to trust. Whoever had him before didnt treat him very well. Lots of treats for good job done,stern commands but NO yelling,no chasing him when he does wrong. As for potty training they need to start from the beginning. Set a timer for every hour for a while,he goes out and does not come in until he potties and they learn his bodies schedule of when he will need to pee and poo. He should not be let out alone,if he pees he gets a treat and a major show of happy dance. If he poos,repeat treat and happy dance. I know that it sounds silly but what this little fellow needs is approval,love and gentle,firm talking.
Im sure that others will come along with other advice. |
