Mostly he will bark but will stay put at the area where he could best see me. He also will look into mirrors (lotsa mirrors in my house) to see any reflection of me or anyone. By 30 secs, if no one response to his bark, he will then eliminate on the spot where he was standing. Sometimes I wonder if my dog has poor bladder control? Maybe health problem? from what I've read and the solutions given i'd say he covered almost everything. For this issue I'd say you let him learnt that. Maybe not by you, maybe your mom or someone thought him this. By weepooing, he will get attention. if all else fails, bear with the stench temporarily after he does his business. right now, you are responding to his business. He learnt that, as long as he does what he does, he'll get attention. as simple as that. your doggy is 3 months right? maybe his bladder isn't properly developed. no matter how well trained, accidents do happen. my new pup is 2 months now. he knows where to go to weepoo. but accidents do happen. you can do what I do, get his toilet schedule. yea seriously. usually for pups it's about one hour. if he's consistant, be consistant taking him to the toilet. see if this helps. Ok! Will do that asap! I have not brought him out for a walk for sometime now coz it has been raining these months! However, I do let him play in the garden many times a week. be patient with the pup. he needs to build confidence. if he's afraid, dont' force it on to him. let him explore his fears etc. your job is to be his pillar of strength, NOT the worrysome mother that will do everything for her child. might sound harsh, but hey, imagine this, be harsh now, and your pup grows up to be a confident dog that you can be proud of taking out with you, or a dog that whines and cries for every small reason that you don't even dare to show to relatives visiting your house. this is not that extreme. that's how dogs get abandoned. because owners can't stand the ill-behaviours of their dogs. I am supposed to do this stages slowly or do it in a day, after the exercising? i'm not too certain about his way, but from my understanding, you move on to the next stage AFTER he is 100% confortable with the current stage. if he fails the current stage, you need to re-try over and over till he gets it Bought him Kong but somehow he doesn't like it much. He seemed to lose his interest very quickly and unless I am there throwing the toys for him to fetch, he usually will not touch it. What about rawhide? He will sometimes chew them when he got nothing to do. try this. i made some chicken soup(you can use anything you like). put it into the kong toy or ice cube box. freeze it. give your pup one to lick/play/bite on. use something that he likes. dogs do better with food that smells good. attracts them faster that food that just taste good. that means i have to get up 30 minutes earlier? hehe. Usually after he go poo/pee, i feed him and straight leave the house. Ok, will do that. that or you can wear your dog out. a tired/busy dog "usually" won't notice ur missing. worked with my pup.Ok! He was very very very excited when I'm back from work. Will be there barking when he hears my car! Hehe..will kept barking excitedly until I let him out of his crate. Oh, btw, i put him in his crate during work as I don't trust him roaming freely yet. could it be a reason why he is like that? he has learnt that "you coming home" = freedom. so what was said, don't give attention as soon as u come back. alternative to that, if u really have a strong heart...wait till he quiets down. After the initial 10 mins, when u approach him, do not let him out yet. let him learn to say "please". for me, it's to sit down and wait quietly. my dogs don't get to eat if they jump on me. they don't get anything for that matter. now they've learnt that if they want something, they sit and wait. enforce this rule, no exception, and he'll learn. I am thinking of getting a female dog at home since he is neutered but do you think this is make the situation worse? Or should I wait until I deal with him first before getting another dog? don't. one dog is hard enough to train. two will make it worst as they will be totally ignoring you. also, they learn faster from each other, and usually the bad things if the older one is not trained yet to begin with. so do not get another dog now. wait till he grows up and learns the house rules. on the side note. what are you using to clean your pup's accidents? do check that the detergent you use does not contain ammonia. this is the easiest thing most owners forget and could lead to more accidents with pups.
