Jar with pennies in it Hi, so Geno is turning 1 in a few weeks and is still having a decent amount of accidents. He does use potty pads and will go pee on them and every time I catch him peeing on his pad, I praise him and give him a treat. Unfortunately, I do not think he makes the connection cause I still catch him peeing everywhere else but the pad. When I catch him, I give a firm NO! and he'll stop peeing and go hide behind the couch. I do feel bad cause I don't want him to feel like he isn't allowed to go - just his choice of where to go is wrong. Has anyone used a jar or can filled with pennies or something else that makes a rattling noise? They say that whenever you catch your dog doing something he shouldn't, you should rattle it. It's suppose to startle them and after a while they should start associating the noise with what they shouldn't do. Does that actually work? And would it work for when I catch him going potty in the wrong places? |
I would most definately NOT use a jar of coins in an effort to deter him... instead of just hiding behind the sofa, he'll start peeing behind it too! Is he neutered? (sorry can't remember if you mentioned it previously) JMO - I don't believe furbabies should have free-run if they aren't potty trained. I would return to confinement and positive reinforcement training. There are others more experienced with potty training here, and there are many detailed threads on potty training you can search on this forum; but you will find that none of them recommend negative reinforcement ;) I wish you the best of luck. |
