New Dog

[Maximus]

Zap your right on the money.

Rubbing its nose in it or hitting its nose isn't going to help.

Its only 6 weeks old remember.

When we got our Cavoodle, King Charles cross toy poodle, we put in an Electric Doggy door and put newspapers in the laundry and every 2 days removed 1 sheet until he was pissing on just 1 sheet.

After removing that last sheet he just started going outside himself whenever he wants and has NEVER pissed or crapped on the carpet ever.

He has had sh1t stuck to his fur a couple of times and jumped on the couch when we were not home which was fun.

They are a very smart dog and will learn quick. Just be patient.

Throw it over the back fence and feed it to the neighbors Alsatian then go out and get a real dog.

I would have gotten a real dog but as mentioned I live in a townhouse and dont have room, I didnt even want a dog because I think its cruel even keeping a small dog in a townhouse with a small yard. I wanted a full sized german schnauzer, or a boxer, but more than likely a schnauzer. they walk funny and have a cool moustach

We got a dog 6 months ago and it is one of the biggest mistakes I have made in life to date.

Small dog/small yard is a bit of a falsehood. Most small dogs are very active and hence need alot of rooms. A large number of large dogs are alot less active than most people realise and are happy to spend there days lazing and sleeping.

whys that mate? what sort of dog did you get?

I adopted this big guy a few months ago: 18mnth old bull mastif x american bull dog. Very loyal very protective of our yard and my g/f but basically a big sook when nobodies watching...

3mins on high should do the trick.

I got a puppy 2 weeks ago

at first she used to piss everywhere, so every time she started to do it I would pick it u and put her on the grass outside and now she has learned that when she has to go she goes to the back door and starts making noises so I can open the door

last few days she started ripping all the plants inside the house if you leave her on her own

When you notice his wee, calmly take him over to it, point to the wee and say no.

Then calmly lead him over to his bed / blanket and make him sit and watch whilst you piss all over his place of rest.

Might not work but it will make you feel better
