| I am far from being an expert at this but I think pee pad training is more difficult for them to understand than going out side. I am trying to pee pads with my pups. the other 2 go out side and i had no problem getting them trained. the pee pads are more difficult. it seems that anything laying on the floor is fair game to them. It sounds to me like he is showing you where he is wanting to go maybe in rebeling for yelling at him. try giving the treats for going where he is supposed to go. works for us here. have patience and it will all fall together. good luck.

| Try keeping him crated, then let him out to do his business on a pee pad (or take him outside). When he understands what the pad is for let him have his freedom, gated in the kitchen. Also, if you want to take him into the carpeted area, use a bellypad (with or without the pad - your choice). Dogs are like babies, and children....each has it's own likes and dislikes....strengths and weaknesses; you just have to keep working with them until they get old enough to hold it a little bit. With love and patience he'll learn. Last edited by lreed; 03-14-2006 at 07:13 PM. Reason: mistake |

| Wow....I think you should re-evaluate the decisions you are making. I cannot believe you would get so worked up over this. I have 4 dogs and 50% of the time, they use the pads, and 50% of the time they don't. Remember who is the adult here and who is the adolescent. I am not saying to let him think he is the boss, but please do not be disrespectful to him and to yourself. It's only fair. Thanks! |

| OMG are you seriously gonna isolate him just because he pees on your carpet. Didnt you think it through prior to getting a small dog. Honey, their bladders are very tiny and even though they pee once doesnt mean that they wont have to pee in the next couple of minutes. If you are so worried about his frequent urination, take him to the vet. Could be a UTI! STOP ISOLATING HIM FOR SOMETHING HE CANT HELP!!! Would you do the same to a child!?! Geeewhizzz! |

| Please,please,please...never hit your puppy. Besides ruining your relationship and derailing your training efforts...you could hurt him in a fit of anger. I once had a golden retriever that was hit often while training and she would squint and cower everytime you tried to pet her. It was really sad. Count to ten the next time you lose control.

Or obviously he has recently switched homes and may still be adjusting. I know it's been a few months but anything's possible.
