I have a 6 month old pomeranian. He is house trained to do his business on a "puppy-pad" which is kept in my bathroom. He is very good at going to the bathroom on the pad, but ONLY when he is confined to my bedroom & bathroom (I block the door with a baby-gate). I have tried everything-- gradually moving the pad to the door, bringing the puppy-pad outside for him to go out there, etc.-- but he rarely does his business outside. He'll hold it until we come back inside & then go on the pad. Also, if he is NOT confined to the bedroom & bathroom where the pad is (i.e. if he's allowed to roam the house under supervision) he just goes to the bathroom wherever he pleases, without an attempt to return to the pad. I'm getting worried because he's getting older... what should I do to solve this problem & get him to go outside? I would like to eventually be able to let him loose in the hous while I'm home (he is crated when I'm out) without worrying about him having an accident.
Must-Have Tools For Easy And Fun Dog Training
Recommended Answer:hes still 6 months old, these things take some time to adjust to. if hes not going to go on the pad when he is able to roam free about the house maybe try keeping him in the bathroom for a longer period and expand on the size of the area slowly. and take some of the space away he he goes whereever. start moving the pad to the door and try bringing some grass and a few sticks or branches inside and leave them by the pad. he will get used to the scent and might help him adjust. he might just b scared to go outside. just dont expect him to b trained overnite. it takes time and patience. work with him and give him a treat if he does good. thats all most dogs need and/or want - love
