He still goes to the bathroom in the house, regardless of how much we take him outside (which is every 2 hrs when we are home). He used to wake me up at 3:30am every night when we had him sleeping downstairs, but he has gotten better since I let him sleep in either my room or my son's room. I have tried to take him to training classes which introduced the clicker method, but now he only listens during our "training sessions" and then starts going crazy shortly thereafter. I don't want to get let him go, but my husband and I are so frustrated. I feel like we have tried everything, but I would like to know if there is something else that I should be trying. We do have a crate for him and he stays there overnight and during the day while we are at work. Please help!!!
hi. I think the problem is your dog is not around you enough. he needs a baby sitter. or when you leave your dog put a radio on with soft music so that he doesnt think hes alone. dogs are like kids. they nedd to be w/someone 24/7.
