3ofakind Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 what are you doing to teach him to go outside? no criticism just dont want to suggest something you are already doing. Small breeds are often stubborn. Negative corrections only encourage the behavior. Positive training on what you do want him to do is the only way to go. And yes you may have to make a fool out of yourself to get the response you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 we go outside every 2 hours the big dogs go in the run and me and boonie go out hte rest of the yard he will go out and sniff and pee andpoo and then he gets lots of hugs and good boys and treats.. when inside i have him leashed to me so he has to go every wher ei go ( just started doing that.. i did that with boththe other dogs ) and if i see him sniffing or whining, back outside we go. I used to see him go to the door and then we'd run outsdie for him to pee.. he can go outside and go potty and then come right back inside and 5 mins later lift a leg on something..

3ofakind Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Wish I had some advice. Sounds like you are doing the best you can. Maybe you could get him a belly band. If he does not achieve his goal of leaving his scent, then maybe he will quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kendalyn Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 [quote name='DeafAussieLover']i've never had such a stubborn hard headed dog in my life.. [/quote] He may not understand that it's not OK to mark in the house. I wouldn't assume he's just being stubborn yet. More often than not, it's our fault when our dogs aren't "getting" something. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Kat Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Get tough with him DAL. Poms are stubborn wee sods from what I have seen. My boss' partner had 3 over the years and they need a firm hand. Use the attachment band idea but yell at him as well. If he isn't responding to anything else then give him a good verbal thrashing if you catch him lifting his leg and take him straight outside. when he pees in the right place tell him hes good but when he does it inside make sure he knows that you are angry with him. he has been with you long enough now to have settled and is just taking advantage of the situation by the sounds of it.
