Ok, I picked SugarDaddy up Sunday. My husband and I had already agreed, due to the extremely cold weather, it would be best to paper or litter box train him. So, I went to the store and got all the necessary supplies. Unfortunately, the breeders had been having them sleep on the pads. Now he RARELY uses the pads cause he thinks that's where he sleeps. Sometimes he'll lay down there instead of his bed to play with a chew toy or just to relax. I've started picking him up when I notice it and placing him and his toy in his bed... i don't know, maybe that will help him differentiate between the two places. Anyhow, I don't know what to do. He pees EVERYWHERE, and usually it's like 2 seconds after I take him to the pad and try for a few minutes to get him to go. I was wondering if it might work better to change the pads to either unscented ones (the pads I bought were scented with some stuff to attract the puppy and make this process easier
) or possibly purchase some doggy litter and try it that way. I'm thinking perhaps if I just switch it up a little bit... but I honestly don't know. I tried the diaper, but HE HATES IT! It takes me a couple minutes to russle him into it, and he has it ripped of in a matter of seconds. It's kinda discouraging.
Let me know if you have any ideas. He's only about 9 weeks old now, and weighs in at a wopping 1 lb 5 oz with his collar, HUGE toggy tag, and his fleece jacket. Just adorable little guy! Do they make the belly bands small enough to fit him??? Oh, the diaper I bought is FourPaws. Are there any softer cloth like diapers that he might like better??? Or might be more comfortable for his teeny tiny hind end???
