We have tried confining him and giving him a lil more space at a time and he will go a few days fine and then pee all over. Well I am pregnant and due in August. My husband said that if we cant get it worked out by then we have to give him away! I would be so sad and the place we got him from wasnt very nice but its kinda family and they gave us the dog free so he thinks thats where we should take him! I definately dont want him to go back there. He is so good about everything else and does great with lil kids. I just need to get this one thing fixed!!! Help me please!
We have tried
letting him outside every hour or two......we let him in and even when he just peed outside he pees again on the carpet!
pee pad in the bathroom...even the grass scented ones.....he mostly pees around them not on them
A frame he has to step over to get to the pee pad so he doesnt think he is on it when he isnt
treats and lots of praise when he does good, saying bad and such when he does bad.
crate at night with a pad and a bed.....he pees on the bed and lays on the pad!
HELP PLEASE!!!!! |
OK, do you want him to go inside or outside? Because if you want him to go outside, and he has pooped outside once, that doesn't make sense. You need to stand outside with him on a leash for an hour until he poops. OR you can crate him (SMALL crate) for an hour, go outside for 10 mins, if no poop he goes back in the crate for 30 mins, back outside for 10, etc.
Second DO NOT put pee pads in the crate. That's not what a crate is for. The crate is to confine him so that he does not go. You need a much smaller crate.
He should not have freedom if he is not potty trained. A few days is not enough to earn freedom. Crate him when he is not supervised.
I think you are confusing him. Can you try to pick a method and stick with it? If he is not getting pads you probably just need to train him to go outside... I realize it's like 3 degrees out, but Loki does fine. Just throw a sweater on him and have a blanket ready for when he comes inside.
