This is exhausting, and he must be super stubborn. He pees everywhere but the pad, and Saturday made a huge mess in his bed, then took a nap in it before we realized what he did. We made the mistake of leaving him in the pen while we were at church yesterday morning, instead of the crate, and came home to another huge mess. Still not sleeping at night, and keeping us awake. We tried my sons room, and ended up having to move him to our room because of all the noise he was making. We will keep him, but honestly, I'm regretting the decision to get a dog. He's ruined the dining room carpet (we rent), and seems to not be catching on to anything we have done with him, even though we are consistent. He acts like he doesn't hear my voice at all with commands, and is overall a very rowdy and hyper boy. I told our 11 year old that he has to take the dog with him when he moves out, but honestly can imagine dealing with this stuff for years more. I was talking to a woman at the pet store Friday morning who has a Yorkie, and one of hers is 9 years old, and still pees in the floor on a daily basis. He other doesn't at all. Ugh. |
