I think poor Parker is just exhausted from all of the expectations of him. Potty training can be frustrating but no one said it was easy, you needed patience. But if you can't give that to him maybe rehoming him to someone who will is best for him. |
I agree - it's unrealistic to expect a puppy to be reliably housetrained so quickly. But the fact is, that is the fiance's expectation. No puppy needs to live in an environment where more is expected of him than he is able to provide, so the best thing for all concerned is to put the puppy into a home where the expectations of him ARE realistic.
