Jake is 19 weeks old today and we are still having some potty training issues.
He's been doing well for the most part. And he knows that when he DOES pee in the floor, he has done something wrong. For example he will kind of hang his head and go hide by the corner of our couch. When he does this, we know there is a puddle of pee somewhere on the floor and sure enough, we always find it. Any suggestions?? We take him out often. And he knows what "POTTY?" means because if you ask him he will jump and bark if he has to go, we will take him outside, and everything is great.
Also - my husband is about to have a cow over it. He's not a happy camper. Of course, he is the one that always finds the puddles of pee.
However, his form of scolding him is telling him NO! but then he will spank him lightly a few times. I honestly do not feel that the swatting does anything for punishment with a dog. I think it makes him think..."He's hitting me and I don't know why!".....any suggestions on this or ways to tell my husband that this isn't the way to punish him? However I have no other ideas on alternatives.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
