UGH i feel like he will never learn and its frustrating... I need help! |
My 2 pups are trained to ring the bell to go out, so I understand how great that is for potty training. The only thing I can think of is, if possible, take a few days off work in a row (or more) and spend those days to potty train. I know most don't have the luxury to take off work, so that may not be an option. It can be hard when the training is not consistent, but with time it will get better. Good luck!
