oh my goodness! this post sounds JUST like my 13 week old puppy leo!! the only time this puppy doesn't whine is when he is in bed with me asleep. AND he holds his bladder (although i get up with him). when i have to go to work and put him in his crate, he shreds the newspaper and pees all over the place BUT will not poop. he also does not eat well at all! and when i take him outside, i can spend 15 mins outside with him, him roaming or sitting at my feet...with me saying "go potty leo. go potty!" he will go potty. we go right back inside and he is squatting!!!! ugh. so frustrating!!
but he is as smart as a whip!!! he minds so well and he knows when he has done wrong by pottying inside because he tries to cover it up!! he is learning his commands so easily but i cant get his eating or pottying or crate crying and barking down. very discouraging! |
