I just got home from work, I need to study for work, but instead I'm on my hands and knees for 10 minutes trying to scrub the floor. With a new baby, it is just so stressful trying to take care of a dog that is nowhere near housetrained. She is the 6th dog I've owned, and I've never had a problem before. I just want to cry, because I don't want to get rid of my baby girl. But maybe another family can give her more attention than I can. I'll have to talk to my husband when he gets home tonight. |
I know it's tough but give it a little longer and try a different method. Crate her. That way, it'll teach her to hold and train her bladder muscle. Come home during lunch time if you could. Or have a neighbor/friend come over during the day so she can stretch and relieve herself.
Have you tried the washable pee pad? They won't be able to shred it.
I'm pretty lucky as my mom takes mine to work with her.
