I am going out of my mind with potty training. My Harley is 7months now. Every time I think he is getting it outside real good. It snows bad or ice rain. He hates it he will run and hide in his crate when I say go outside on those days. I was giving in and letting him go on the pads. which he will do for a couple of days in between going outside, but, then out of the blue like today he went out 2 times this morning and peed, came right in an pooped on the paper. Then not even 1/2 hr later pees on the floor in the living room. He will tell me sometimes if he needs to go out now, like stand by the door, but he never barks to go. He will bark for a treat or water or food or toys but not to go outside. I am fit to be tied. I have been home with him the whole time. My neighbors are laughing at me because I have lived in the snow banks all winter outside with him. He knows what he is doing because he will run into his crate if he pees on the floor. All I have to do is say what did you do Harley and off he goes. This dog is smart as a whip, but so stubborn with this. I cant believe how hard this had been , my sheltie was trained in a month , we had her 15yrs. This dog is my baby , but what do you do when you live somewhere that is cold most of the time. will he ever just get it. |
