| Is there housebreak hope for a retiring stud dog? I have a male who I will retire soon at close to 3 years of age. Hes never been really housebroken. He wants to mark everything in sight! You cant blame him, hes been a Romeo and its just his nature and hes never been trained different. One day I will place him in a new home. Is there hope for him being housebroken after being a stud and not housebroken up to this point? He will be neutered do you think this will help at this older age? I heard its really hard to break a stud dog? Any thoughts, experience or suggestions on this. |

| house breaking a older dog I just adopted a sweet 7 year old male Yorkie and I was so happy that he never lifted his leg in my house until now and I am finding signs of his presence! I have had him only a week, but he did so well in the beginning, and actually he would bark when he needed to go out! I had to leave him and my other little one for 6 hrs. one day and that is when it started. He is nutered for sure. I really scolded him this morning, just as a baby one, but I really don't know how to handle this issue since I am not used to males to begin with! What is a belly band? I have been reading up on the issue of potting training, which I thought he was trained! Suggestions please! I have had him through a lot lately, since I had to bring him to the Vet, groomer, and the Vet again to get his teeth cleaned and a couple extractions! |

| Placing Young Adults I think my girls are worse markers then the boys. I have them spayed and neutered first. Then we begin rehabilitation. Housetraining,socializing,basic obedience. Then they are ready for adoption. It must continue with the new owners but they have a good start.

( quote ) If you were out for 6 hours , who tell you that it was him ? Scolding a dog is never a way to show him that he done something wrong . Anyway , after six hours , it is a little late for punishment . 7 days , he need more time to adjust . Sorry if I sound rude . |
