I feel for you. I know having dogs pee on the carpet or floor is a nono for us. I have allergies and pee has a lot of allergans in it. I also have white carpets. Jess does potty on pads which I change everytime im home and she goes. I am not on the same page as many that you don't discipline when they do wrong. When I tried the uh uh in soft tones when she peed on the kitchen floor she didn't care and kept doing it. I finally adopted a tone that told her I was not happy. I never hit or am abusive but I let her know in no uncertain terms it was not ok. If she peed and I found it later I walked her to it firmly and pointed to it and said in a low tone" Bad girll NO NO! Bad PEE PEE' and then ignored her. it took quite few tries but trust me she got it. I also would praise her a lot when she went on the pad and said "good girl good peepee" in a high happy tone and gave her a treat. I also limited her space until she got it. I mean one room, no where else. ever. She now never pees anywhere but on her pad, even when she had the runs she ran to the pad. She got tons of loves for that one!!
I think u need to go back to basic training.
I think you need to limit the space a lot. Even if its a pen while your home and not with them. I have a richell that's five feet long and has a pee room. That's where she stays when we are not home. Im not comfortable with her having the run of the house when we aren't there..she gets too overwhelmed. My Jess sleeps in a crate in my daughters room, which is closed. She does not have run of the bedroom at night, there are too many small toys she could choke on.. She likes my daughters snoring but has her own space. It has room for her bed and a pee pad. She didn't get run of the upstairs (only when we are home) until she was completely trained..I wish you luck |
