If that all fails and he still does it in the night, have him sleep in one of these transport kennels. He won't soil it. |
I think that may be part of the problem as well. I have always tried to do the same walk each time regardless of when he goes but I think he is catching on that if he doesn't go he gets to stay outside. I have tried to play with him alot in the house in lieu of going outside since it's so cold (he is a small dog). But he just looooves to go out.
We did put him in his crate when we first got him and it worked great, he only had one accident that way. I just got to feeling sorry for him so now he gets the laundry room.
The strange part of it is that he only does it when we are gone. never once has he even tried to go while either of us was home. The other day I took him out at 9, I left at 11, my bf got home at 1130, and he had done BOTH!
Thanks for the tips though, I never really did do any sort of reward training for going outside because he just seemed to
know from day 1. I may have to get on that if he keeps it up.
