I Have A New Puppy, A Papillon…potty Training And Whining?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
I got a new puppy last Wednesday. He is 4 months old and I got him from PetLand. As you know, at places like that, they allow the dogs to relieve themselves in the kennel because there are holes. Well now he has a big problem with going in his kennel. I am trying to kennel train him so when I’m at school, or even just gone for a little, he has no problem being in there. I tried to make it comfortable for him because I know it is supposed to be a comforting place for him to rest. But, he’s constantly using the restroom and there and walking all in it. I have to give him a bath daily. He refuses to go to the bathroom outside. He has no problem going in my room, or in the living room. I have puppy pads in my room, but he won’t use those either. I went and got a spray that has the scent that encourages them to eliminate on a certain spot. That’s not working either.
I need help on that and also..
whenever I put him in his kennel, he wines the entire time. I ignored it for three nights, but it’s not getting any better. My neighbors have told the office about the whining. It happens to be finals week so noone is very happy with the excessive noises. My mom suggested a light shock collar (the ones that make the high pitch noise) but I don’t really know if I want to buy one. He just won’t be quite. Sunday night, he whined and yelped for atleast 5 hours straight. He had a cough sunday because of it. Please help me out!! SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!
