Hi, I am pretty new to the boards and I have had my boy since he was about 10 weeks. He is now 6 months old (weighs 9lbs btw). He wants to go outside constantly. He doesn't stay out there but a couple of minutes, but as soon as he comes back in, its back to the door to go out again. I am tired! The couple of times I have ignored him he went to the bathroom on the floor. I tried just leaving him outside when he wants to come back in (just ignored him while he barked outside the door), but that didn't work because the door is too close to where we are & I can't take the barking so the most I could do is about 7-10 minutes. This has not worked. When will this stop? When/if I get him neutered will that make him stop? Thanks for your help. I read lots of good stuff on these boards.
