The first time he had ever stood on carpet was in my living room, makes him peeing and pooping on it worth it too....well almost lol The problem is he had to "go" in his cage, the same place as he ate and slept, so he doesn't understand he shouldn't do it inside. As he spent over 7 years in the mill I'm not sure if he can ever change now but I'll keep trying, and buying more puppy pads!
So even though it's a bit more work, he is giving me more joy than I thought was possible, I love him to bits  |
He reminds me of my Tibbe. Tibbe lived the first 9 months of his life in a cage outside so he was scared of grass, rugs, concrete, fans, brooms, being inside the house and TV, the fridge, you name it, and he only knew cage pottying. But he overcame 99% of his fear, is completely housebroken to a fault and is a happy, confident, cocky dog now.
