Ok on the walk thing- should I let him pee/ mark ( I say mark because outside he will always lift his leg, he doesn’t lift his leg on his pee pad) He will also lift outside in this dog run. That is confusing to me… if I let him lift outside where he wants or not let him mark where ever he wants..
Lots of little things we are going to work on that will help! I’m excited for us! My goal is to have a well balanced Yorkie!
I will also look up that website!! Thank you so much! |
I would let him pee as much as he wants on the walk....unless it gets obsessive. I really don't think it has anything to do with who is the leader. It is a male dog activity and he needs to be able to do it outside. He should get rid of excess urine while he is doing it
If he does not lift his leg when using the pee pad then it does sound like he is doing a marking behavior when he goes where is not supposed to. You may need to confine him or tether him to you when he is inside until you are able to retrain him. I really think going on walks with him will help. They just love exploring and the exercise is really needed. Backyards are wonderful but some dogs just don't exercise enough unless they have someone to play with out there. I hope you find something that will help you with him. He does sound like a very smart little guy that is trying to deliver some sort of message to you.
