: Too Many Accidents!!!! - RANT
: SwissysRock October 27, 2005, 09:17:49 PM
Sorry just have to rant and rave a minute... >:(

Riley is over a year old and he's been having way too many accidents in the house!!!  It makes me soooo angry.  Like last night, when I catch him, its not like I can make him stop - he just keeps goin - pees a whole freakin river!  (Only pee - he hasn't pooed in the house for months thank God!)  And it only happens when we have him out and about in the house.  I mean when we are at work, he has a small area in the office blocked off with a baby gate, where he has his bed and thats pretty much it - so of course he won't go there.  Its just so frustrating.  And I've read that his breed is slow to housetrain, but it just sucks.  Seems like anytime I think "Gee Riley has been so good lately" - he surprises me.  Just had to get that off my chest.

Been there too,  :-\ It really sucks but what I did with Dilbert was start from scratch with the house training. And I let him out everytime he stands by the door. Now he is fully house trained at 10 months.  Finally! But it took a long time. He is crated during the day. And at night he sleeps in his crated but with the door open, and if he needs out he'll bark or come up to me and poke me with his nose. It sucks but don't give up it will happen, eventually  ;)

That stinks! Poor Riley. Just know that he LOVES you and that someday he'll learn.

it can be a battle sometimes.  Have you been to obedience training at all?  :)  Just a thought.  Potty can be a trying thing.
