My baby Guinness is 5 days shy to being 4 months old. I have had him for over a month now and for the first three weeks he was wonderful... he would pee on his wee wee pad but still needed training with pooping. Since he was doing so good, I started letting him run around the whole apartment but once in a while would put him into his play pen so taht I coudl do some work without worrying if he is peeing or pooping on the carpet or me stepping on him by mistake. I guess he caught on because he always wanted to be out of his playpen (kitchen) so he started to pee out of his wee wee pad. I thought it was just out of nervouness of being locked into the kitchen by himself so i cleaned it up a few times... then he kept on doing it all the time... so i started ignoring him... now what he does to get our attention is, if the peeing doesnt work, he would poop... if that doesnt work either, he would bark really loud. Its been going on for a whole week now. I tried walking him for long periods of time and he just wouldnt go until he gets back into the apartment... so i walked him and sat in the kitchen and waited for him to go for over 30 minutes... he wouldn't go... as soon as I walked out of the kitchen, he pees and poops!!!! I really lost it today and yelled and spanked him. I feel guilty about it but I dont know what to do with him!
