Re: Toilet training puppy
Hi Rich he is still only a baby and as such wont yet have full controll of his bladder some dogs take longer than others , I am assuming he was either at the breders before you got him or you have had him second hand so to speak . What was the situation of the previous owner did they paper train him indoors first , this often mucks up them then swapping to going outside to pee, All i can sudgest is ignore him when he pees, in the house dont even react to it clean it up with disolved washing detergent its best for removing the smell and get him in the garden it may mean watching him for ages untill he eventually goes , when he does make a huge song and dance about it loads of praise this renforcesthe good behaviour but ignors the bad , its perserveance and vidgilance that pays off . Also have you got him a crate ? having there own space is great for them keeps them safe from harm when you cant be watching him /her and as they generally dont like to foul there space it may make him hold himself longer . Rule of thumb a young pup will pee often so trips to the garden every 15 mins isnt unrealistic and most will want to poo after 10 - 20 mins after eating , most accidents are our fault for not recognising there body language , after a nap is a good one for going outside too hope things improve
