I've never cared for a puppy before but I took him in when I found out my friend was allergic to him I am only keeping him until I can find him a home .. I knew it was going to be hard but now I am stressing out!
He is ten weeks old and I have no idea how to potty train him. He keeps going on my carpet EVERYWHERE! He has pooped on my carpet 6 times since midnight. Everytime I catch him in the act I startle him and send him outside. He has been wining all night and I haven't had any sleep. Help?
Try using positive reinforcement rather than punishment. Take him outside and wait until he does his business then reward him with a lot of "Good dog!"s and even a treat. Don't hit or threaten or rub his nose in it. You might also try keeping him in a crate so if he has an accident it will be there. Leaving him outside is not the way. Dogs are pack animals and you are his pack leader-he wants to be near you and he wants to please you. Give him a chance. It won't happen overnight but it will happen and the sooner you start the better. Good luck! OH, and there are products that will remove the smell-enzime cleaners you could get from your vet or a pet store.
get him a crate to sleep in and let him out alot he might be frightened by the change in home and need somtime to feel safe mine would get scared and pee so we tried to jsut smile and have him outside more one of my friends said human pee hepls to get them the idea to pee in the spot you put some .. try to be patient he is a baby
