I am sure that really startled him and scared him away from the Piddle Place. If now he associates the Piddle Place with something that made mommy scream, this would be quite traumatic. Yes, you will have to gently start over, and make him feel safe and secure going back there. Maybe sit down next to him, put him on the Piddle Place and talk gentle and sweet to him. "whos the best lilttle boy in the world...my Milo" etc. He needs to feel safe going back there. Maybe is we move it to another location, that might help as well. Please let me know what happens...we were so close! Love to Milo, You are such a caregiver to everyone, please remember to take care of yourself. |
Okay, so this morning when I got up he made some poop on the Piddle Place and some on the floor. He was howling, whining and crying and making a racket like he never does and I think he was trying to tell me he made potty, so when I saw the poop on the PP, I rewarded him even though I didn't see him do it. Then while I cleaned up the poop he piddled on the floor. So I started to reward him for just being on the PP because now he just keeps jumping off instead of sniffing around like he used to do. Also, I changed the look of the PP, I put the back guard on it, so it looks a little different, I'm hoping that will help. And this is where we are now. Was that okay, to reward him for just standing on the PP? If I did anything wrong, please tell me. I'm so upset, I feel like I ruined everything
