Getting my BC puppy today - Page 20

Speedy2662 · 11-08-2012, 04:18 PM

Eh, I don't know. We gave him dinner, I waited around 20-30 minutes, took him outside for about 30 minutes, went back inside for 15 minutes then I took him out again, nothing. he kept sniffing and sniffing, and then he finally ended up just lieing down and trying to fall asleep. I took him inside about a good amount of time and he's done it inside, not even on the mat :/
Better luck tomorrow

True, but consistency makes it easier. Most of us have been outside in a cold driving rain with an umbrella at 3am waiting for a puppy to potty. It is just for a short period of time. [of course time goes slower when you are 14 than when you are in your 50s]

What is wrong with him!!! He doesn't want to go outside in the garden, he waits till he's at home and then he does it! grr I'm so pissed off right now. All he does is sniff, freeze or play with the leash. Grrr

He's a baby!!!! This is normal, besides he's confused b/c he's been peeing in the house too ...

Remember, human babies are in diapers for up to 3 years ... so expecting your puppy to be potty trained so fast is, when there's lots of confusion for him is not fair!

Patience, and consistency!

There were plenty of times I was outside with Kyleigh at 2 a.m. just begging her to pee!!! it does get better!

the thing is this won't get better if he continues this!
If he keeps peeing inside straight away after he's been to the garden, I'm not really sure if this will get any better! :/ And my mum doesn't help either, because it's been raining today and she refused to tkae him outside when I was in school ! >_<

Nothing is wrong with him.
He needs consistency and patience and he needs for you to stay out there with him until he goes, each and every time.
It would have been easier if he had not been taught to go in the house. It takes 30 repetitions to teach a dog something, but 500 or more to un-teach something.

Being frustrated and angry will transfer to him and make him a nervous dog. Relax and focus on what you seek to accomplish instead of what is not going well.

You wanted a dog now deal with it. As many have pointed out this is a baby. It will get better but it is going to take time and patience and training. You took responsibility not your mum, it is not her dog it is yours! Time to prove you are old enough to have this huge responsibility.
