Thanks for the wonderful advice. Wallee was neutered at 6 months. He was pad trained as before he was fixed he was peeing very often and having the pad down was great as he would just use that whenever he wanted to go. In November I lost my job so figured while I am unemployed it was the perfect time to transition him to totally outside. In the past week I have noticed that he is only using the pad once or twice a day. The pad is near the door and sometimes he will just use that instead of asking. I was thrilled that he was asking to go outside most of the time and just told my husband that probably when this box of pads is gone he will no longer need them.
Tomorrow I am going to try taking his food away at 6ish and weather permitting, get those 2 walks a day back in. Before it got dark we always did an after supper walk which I am sure helped him sleep so well.
I just gotta keep focused on him more. I'm sure it is my fault. |
