AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
My long awaited little puppy is a swine, already having huge problems with leaving him see other thread, now we have taken a huge step back with house training.
While the weather was dry we were doing really well but in turns out he hates the rain, while I understand as he has very little coat what on earth am I supposed to do about it?
The problem is he doesn't want to go in the garden at all anymore, I think this is after several times when I know he needed to go (sniffing circling etc) so took him out in the rain and waited.
He goes mental, whining, crying, yelping as though he is being skinned, throwing himself at the door, trying to jump in the window....... I am of course outside with him the whole time, telling him to 'go wee' in a happy, encoraging voice.
Every time this happened I would give up eventually as he just wouldn't go, the minute he got all four paws into the house he would squat and wee.
I then tried to wait him out, knowing that he needed to go, to no avail, he would cry and carry on for an indefinate length of time, I would let him in he would wee.
Now he doesn't want to go in the garden at all, cannot be tempted out even with really high value treats (chicken, sausage) just looks at me from the door and then runs away, so the only way I can get him out is to carry him. Upon which he creates as above.
Heeeeeeelllllllllpppppppp mmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeee
Please.
also he is a sod with the children but maybe I will save that for another thread
Sorry this is so long, all suggestions gratefully considered
