I have praised him and petted him and gave him treats when he has done his poohs outside,but he will not wee outside,and when he does it in the house(wee),I sternly tell him off,and ground him to his cage for 1 hour!But this strategy doesn't seem to be working,so here I am asking for advice!
Any sensible advice,gleefuly accepted !!
Looking forward,never backwards............  |
You have answered your own question here (bold). If he wees inside, you sternly tell him off so he thinks he is being told off for weeing, not for weeing in the house. He is a dog; he does not know it is a house. The result of this is that he is not going to wee anywhere where you are, or he will get told off, so if you are waiting for him to go in the garden, then that is not going to happen.
All he knows is it is wrong to wee where you can see him.
His crate should be his own private place where he goes to find his own space, it should never be used as a punishment. |
