Need help with Zeus!

[CountryWolf07]

Oh gosh, I am annoyed! Please let me vent.

I am good with dogs, I know what I have to do. I have raised a puppy before, but that was Rosie, and that was in 2002. I just am re-experiencing what it is like to raise one again, but a different breed. Don't get me wrong. I love Siberian Huskies, but I am thinking that I would rather adopt a young dog than a puppy at this point by what I am going through with Zeus. Maybe I am just annoyed because I am doing all the work when it comes to potty training.

In fact, Ryan just gave up on him. (the owner/roommate)
He picked up Zeus and put him in his cage, AFTER he peed so many times in the house already today, WITH HIM IN THE SAME ROOM! I stopped Zeus before he peed, and took him outside, praised him like crazy. HE knows what I am doing with him is good. So yeah, I don't get it. WHY get a husky puppy and just let him do that, while you should be really training him. I told Ryan it's NOT impossible to train that dog not to pee in the house; Huskies are very smart. Poor Zeus has no idea what's wrong or right when it comes to potty training.

Agh. I really do love the little guy already - he has stolen my heart!

It sounds like your roommate didn't do his research and just thought it'd be cool to have a puppy. He's only 8 weeks old. Keep with it. It's not an over night thing.
