I am not an expert but here is what I do. Continue to crate train him. Don't let him run around if you can't watch him. Try to take him out on a schedule. Take him out first thing in the morning. Take him out after he eats or drinks. Don't let him drink or eat in the evenings. This is something I use on my puppy Khloe and my older dog Kirby. " No potty, no freedom". I try to take them both out around the same times each day. If they don't use the potty they stay in the crate. Make sure you are using a cleaner such as nature's miracle to wipe up any accidents. Make sure when you take him outside go the same spot and praise, praise when he goes potty. Don't give him away because of house training. It takes patience and work. You may two may need to tag team the potty training. Can your mate take the puppy out when you can't? Remember never punish or scorn him. This will not help the probem. If you catch him about to do his business inside, pick him up and rush outside. Please keep in mind that sometimes they may have accidents . Dogs are not perfect just as we are not perfect. |
