I just cant spend 24/7 with him and let my family suffer for it. Maybe he needs a home where no one works and can work with him more or better than I have. I am at my wits end. I have tried everything except the leash on the house thing and that is just not feasible for me. The stains are all urine. We tested that by putting milk and juice and pop on carpet and letting it dry and putting the black light over it. Nothing showed up. As for a trainer. We have none in our area that will come to the house. Have to go to Indy and it is way too expensive. Yes I may be a bad person, but I am keeping Maddie. This little girl has great bladder control. She too is on the same schedule as Parker and she will not pee in her crate. I do watch them outside to see if they are doing what they need to be doing before bringing them inside. Please trust that Parker is a sweetheart and I would never pass him off to another family without feeling like i've done all I can. His decision in no only my hubbys but also my own. You would not believe the day I had with him yesterday and I cant take it any longer. I truely feel like I've done all I can do.. Rather you agree or not... ok here is his schedule:
Parker gets up around 5:30 in the morning. We carry him out of his cage and to outside where he will pee and poo. He comes inside and goes back to sleep with me in my bed for 1 hr. I get up take him back outside he will just pee. I put him in the crate and feed him. After 20=30 minutes, I take him outside and he pee and poos again. Lately he has been pee and poo on the deck. I dont take him out on a leash, I just walk out with him since our yard is fenced in and we spent 2000.00 doing it for him. He comes back inside and plays in the family room with me for 20 min to 1/2 hr. Then I have to finish getting ready for work so he goes back into his crate. He will stay there till 12:00. I come home carry him outside and he will pee and poo. He does pee several times in his crate on the pee pad i spend about 20 minutes with him playing take back outside he pee and then I'm back to work. Hubby comes home takes him outside he pees and then directly back into the crate for supper. after about 20=30 min. he lets him back outside where he poo and pee and comes back in and plays. We watch him all the time and occassionally he will run into the other room and we yell and he comes directly back. *which i think he's been peeing. we talk him out every 1/2 hour after wards. around 9:00 i take his water away. usually around 10o or so I put him back into his crate and 10:30 back outside and he pee and poos in that 1/2 hr he pee in the crate. He comes back in and plays til 11L00 back outside pee and then to bed. in the mean time I think when he runs into the other room or he hind something he pee within a instant. That is what I dont understand. I really do have him on a sch. and I really do watch him, but after the black light test there were pee marks and marking stuff everywhere. He still squats. He has been fixed at 4 months. He will use the pee pads outside the cage and pee sometime within the 1/2 hr. or sometimes he will ring the bells at the back door. Lately he wants to pee on the deck. He pees in his crate, he will also pee on the pads sometimes.
Thank you for all your advice rather I liked it or not I guess I ask for it.. But this is the best thing.. Sometimes it just doesnt work out..... Parker will not be going to just any old home. I believe I've found a good one from someone here on yt. Anyone who wants to take on this responsiblity is a better person then I. I'm checking this persons ref. first. they are at home all day long and do have other yorkies. Sorry if you dont agree with this, but it is best... It wont be easy because i do love this little guy and spoil him to death!!!! |
well Denise, I'm sorry this is happening, but like I said yesterday. To me its an issue between you and your husband. I for one have one of the best husbands I know of and anyone that knows us will tell you that. But he would not put up with a puppy we couldnt get to eventually train. Kizzy is almost 5 months old and she is finally getting the hang of letting us know and also holding it for me to get to the door for her most of the time. But she does still have times she just cant wait on me but pees right in front of the back door now and not all over the house. She isnt crated. she has our whole living room, dining room, kitchen, hall way and utility room to be free in. Just not our bedrooms and bathrooms. But I am a stay at home mom now and I had lots of time with her which I dont think she would be trained yet If I didnt. But I will tell you this, my husband is NOT a dog lover. He usually ends up loving them once I bring one home. Right now Kizzy goes to sleep on his stomach half the time in hubbys recliner at night before he goes to bed. But if it came right down to the wire of giving her up or tearing up our home, and we have no kids at home. I would try to find her a good home. Sometimes a person can only handle so much. And if I had a child 2 yrs old I can tell you now, hubby would NOT even have a puppy in the house peeing on things where our child has to play. He loves kids and ya know, kids come before dogs no matter what. You will still have one puppy left and your kids and you and hubby will keep having a good relationship. Hubby does not tell me what I can or can not do but we do try to respect each others feelings. If he did like dogs and wanted to keep a BIG one, say a lab or something even close to in my house I would tell him in a heartbeat, no way. I am the one responsible for my house cleaning and he is the one responsible to make sure we have nice things, so there fore, I figure I dont want him working his azz off trying to have nice things for one little dog to mess it all up. We have both worked hard over the years, especially him to have a nice place and now that we do, we try to keep it that way. So I would never bash your husband and I really dont think most people here actually meant to either. Its always easier tell others what to do than live with the decisions we have to make in our own daily lives. So just do whatever he and you decide is best to keep harmony in your home. I cant live in turmoil over one dog. I love my puppy a lot , but I love my husband lots more. We lost a daughter together and I know if we got thru that we could give up a dog. Believe me, losing a child is the worse thing anyone could ever have happen to them. So try to make a happy home for all of you as you never know what may happen tomorrow. I am not putting down dogs but there is more to life.
