We got Tyson when he was 13 weeks old. Rin was already a year old. She basically taught Tyson where to potty. He just followed along behind her and did what she did....easy peasy....until
Ernie came along at 8 weeks. Tyson and Rin were four and five years old. Ernie still hasn't gotten the hang of a potty pad. He's now TWO!!! Plus, he began marking at about 8 months. So at four, Tyson thinks he should mark as well.  Oh, HE got SCARY momma and we nipped that real quick. But Ernie....well....he's just special  . (And my daughter is moving away with him in a few weeks!  ) |
Enjoyed your feedback.... I seem to have a little Ernie on my hands too! Chase is 11mos and half the time he will go on his pad and the other half he wants to hike up his leg and find a nice little corner somewhere.... I have to constantly be watching him and on him.....this mommy will never give up on this little guy, I even found a big cat litter box about a week ago at Petsmart and attempted to make it a doggie box! It fits a puppy pad perfectly, it's low on one side for him to get in and really high on the other so he can still hike and I can throw away the pad and rinse off the box, no problem!..... Great idea or so I thought!! He wants nothing to do with it! The minute I put him in, he jumps out! Does it take longer for males to train? My Bella was trained so quickly and is always right on target��
