hollybrookeYou know, just when I think Bo is 100% housebroken...he has an accident.
Does anyone know approximately how long it takes to completely have a puppy potty-trained?
At least he isn't pooping in the house, which is a relief. But poop is a little easier to clean than pee from a carpet. I don't know if it's because Bo is still a puppy and his bladder is still growing with him...but it sure didn't seem like it took Hershey this long to potty-train.
I refuse to hit the puppy. I just flat-out refuse. I don't condone animal abuse, and I feel it just reinforces negative behavior. I don't want to raise an aggressive dog, and I don't want my dog to fear me. I just want him to know better than to pee in the house.
Oh, and that biting needs to stop. If it doesn't end in a month (when he SHOULD be growing out of it, according to experts and the books), I'm going to have to invest in obedience classes.
