Potty Training...

 


We have a new sweet puppy...we have had him about a month now and we are still potty training. This is like having a kid...for real!!

 


He does great all day long while in the crate while we are at work. He does great when we quarantine him in the bathroom at night. It’s while he is out and about that he will poop!!! Not pee...but poop! We take him out and walk forever and he won’t do it...come in the house and he will wait until we turn our backs for a moment and then poop on the stairs!

 


The funny thing is is that he knows he has done wrong. He knows he’s about to be in trouble right after he does it! Ugh!!! I have no idea how to break him of this??? I’m assuming it’s just gonna take a bit more time...like I said he’s still just a baby...he’s just over 4 months old.

 


But I do like this “parenting” experience with Daddy. He is such a loving and involved parent. He gets up in the middle of the night, he cleans carpets and decks, he mixes food and grooms the baby. It’s so endearing to watch him. He’s always in control of everything. I’m so glad that he’s the head of our lives...I’m blessed for sure!

 


Until tomorrow...

Bianca15​(switch female) - The easiest way is to keep the puppy where you can monitor him 100% of the time. Personally, I use "x-pens" because I have very high drive puppies and need to separate them from the opportunity to bite. Another way is to leash the puppy until he is 100%. Potty training is about preventing accidents to begin with and teaching them good habits rather than trying to fix something that is already happening. Hope that helps.

LaVieEnRose​(sub female)​{Kintsugi} - poop is a hard one, but I think you need to get a good enzymatic cleaner to get rid of the stuff that you can’t smell. Also he’s never to be alone (even just turning your back) cause as soon as he starts to posture, you can take him straight out.

Confining helps because most animals don’t want to poop where they sleep or eat so they don’t go until they’ve got free roam. Bianca made a great suggestion for a pen or even consider crate training.
