He doesn't think anything of going right in front of me. I tell him no and take him outside but he still insists on going inside when he needs to go. I love him dearly but am ready to pull my hair out. I got Max in the middle of January and living in Iowa it was below zero. I used pads this winter because it was so cold for him. We tried to go outside but sometimes it was just to darn cold. He would use the pad when I was at work but would potty on the floor when I was home. Now I have taken the pad away and he holds it most days when I am gone but other days he goes on the linoleum. I would appreciate some help - when he goes inside do I just tell him no and take him outside like I am doing and will he eventually get the hang of it? I haven't scolded him. |
Hi Mishelle:
Check out some of the old threads on crate training. This should help tremendously. Always keep him in a place where you can supervise him. This is where crate training really works. They don't like to poop where they sleep. Be patient and consistent. It will happen!!
