Not sure if it was to light of a color he thought it was a huge wee pad or the texture felt like grass. But haveing a kitchen/living room combo I needed something to seperate the room. Last weekend I was in Home Depot. I picked up a plain dark gray flat rug. Not soft at all. And he has not gone once. I don't know if he even knows its there or if I am just overloading with treats. Either way I think the texture might make a difference. I think to soft and comfy was getting Diezel to excited..lol Maybe try a small harder rug for training and then upgrade. The one I got was 19.99 and its 6x8.
Good luck! |
Yes, I think you're right about them getting excited. I think they are saying to themselves, "I LOVE this rug! It's so nice and soft and comfy...I will claim it as my OWN!" The funny thing is, Scout knows he's not supposed to pee on it because I have caught him about to pee on the bathroom carpet before and say, "HEY! Go potty on the spot" and point to the wee pad. He slinks off to the pee pad and goes. Little rascal!
