Has anyone here ever litter box trained their dog? Alexa has really been considering this for Payson. We've had him for 7 months and he still isn't trained. The problem is that he hates outside, he's scared of dogs, people, cars, loud noises.. I feel like Alexa and I have tried just about everything. We've crate trained him, but he will urinate in his crate (it is the right size for him) then stand there whining and howling until he is let out. Sometimes he wake us up at night after he's urinated in the crate, we've also come home to him whining. He will pee even if he's inside leashed next to you. If you catch him right when he's about to start he won't stop even if you pick him up or say no. We will take him out every hour and he just won't go, but then the second we leave the house he will urinate.
We both also wonder if it's cruel to keep him indoors, but at the same time he just really hates the outside. Should we just throw in the towel and have him be an inside only dog?
Just to clarify we have no yard, so all of his outings are leashed.
