I have the same problem with my 1 year old male. He tears the disposable pads up, so I started using the washable ones. He knows what they are for and many times will use them, but just as many times he'll go whoever he wants. When i let him outside, I have to chase him off the porch. He doesn't particularly like going out in the yard. I tried the crate and when he indicated he needed to go, I would take him outside, and wait sometimes as long as 15 minutes and he still wouldn't go, but before I could get him back in the crate, he would pee in the floor. I guess my mistake is not carrying him in from outside and putting him back in the crate and trying again later. It is very frustrating. |
