When we come home, we take him out of his crate and straight to the balcony. He usually goes in a big way about 98% of the time. HOWEVER, while we are home with him, he goes all over the house with these tiny little quarter sized pee spots. And for some strange reason, he likes to poop in our bedroom (usually within the same area). I can't figure it out. I have read books, I have read posts here on YT and I have done it all. Except, I haven't yet tired the bell thing. I think I might give it a shot.
We have been working on other training too. He has SIT, but nothing else. I have been working with him on DROP IT, COME, QUIET, STAY and LAY DOWN. He hasn't picked up on those as quickly. I was thinking of enrolling him (and me) in a class. But my BF says that I am alrady doing the things they are teaching. Meeko is very well socialized so that isn't much reason to enroll him. What do ya'll think?
Oh Meeko is 6 months, I've had him for about 3 months. |
Try putting the pad where he likes to poop, then if gets to using the pad consistently, slowly inch it along till it is where you want it.
Also Welcome to all you new YTers. Congratulations on your babies. This is the place to come for all of your questions. There is someone here that will have gone through whatever you are going through. There is a lot of combined experience and wisdom on this site.
