I first open the door, let him come out and ask him to pee. When we were in an apt and used piddle pads, I'd walk over to the pads (no eye contact, talking or touching as all those things set him off) and ask him to pee. Once he finished, then and only then was it time to say hi. I also let him approach me during the day. If he crawled into my lap, then I could pet him with no problems. It's now been 4 years, and he is so much better. I can pick him up whenever and be pee free, and sometimes I forget to let him pee before picking him up when I get home from work and have been accident free. He still has accidents, especially when I get home from work, so we're still working on that.
Edited to add: For us it has taken this long, and it has been this slow due to Kaji's anxiety. He's a nervous wreck a lot of the time so we've taken everything VERY SLOWLY. I'm sure the process is much quicker for everyone else. |
No its not just whenever she is picked up or shown attention, but it is also when she is just hanging out in the house. I used your approach with the puppy pads before, but the crazy thing is is that she knows to use her puppy pads. She pees and poops on them a lot of times, but she also pees everywhere else. Ellie doesn't pee on the floors or anything so I know Lilly Anne isn't smelling her and peeing over her. I am not sure what her problem is.
