Jan just listed all the times a dog will have to go to the bathroom and said to put the dog in the crate of you aren't going to watch them. And what do you mean by "changing the pad"? If you mean you're paper training or using "training pads" then stop doing that, dogs should only ever be create trained, using newspaper or pads only teaches them they're allowed to go in your house.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602440720537929850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617770133221195894.post-18952170219056678572011-07-28T20:39:55.462-06:002011-07-28T20:39:55.462-06:00Jan, THis is an interesting article and leads me t...Jan, THis is an interesting article and leads me to my question. I recently adopted a dog from the humane society in Jax. Fl. I was told she is 4 years old but I wonder about that. We do not know her background except that she was found running loose, spent a few months in the county shelter before being at the HS.<br /><br />Even though we put her outside frequently she peed in the house and seemed to mark it as her own. I've cleaned it, changed the pad, cleaned it some more. We crate her if we're going to be gone but she's learned to sleep in our room all night with peeing. I walk her morning and night. <br /><br />THe thing is I never see her pee or catch her in the act, just find wet spots. I'm not sure how to "teach her when to go out. Should she be in the crate at all times when in the house?<br /><br />I am at my wits end and considering "re-homing" her. The problem is we bonded so deeply and quickly I don't think I can do it. I need some help!Merry MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462036349233154101noreply@blogger.com
