Tips was just so good the first few days, I should have guessed it wasn't going to last, lol.
He didn't pee in the house for 5 days, now we have 2 to 5 pees/poops a day in the house.. and that's taking him out every 30 minutes-one hour He even peed in the big basket in Boris' crate, so we had to remove it (Boris is never in it anyway). He still goes outside most of the time, so I guess when he has better control of his bladder it won't be such a problem though... He's only 2 1/2 month after all.
Since this week end he was with Boris all the time, except for food. He never pees in his crate, so I guess he is going to have to spend more time in it, especially as he still barks when we leave him in there and leave the room (except at night - thanks God). I should add that the crate is really big, as it's a 70 lbs dog crate, and he's 7 lbs, lol. I'm not too sure what to do though, I want him to be with Boris so he can be really tired at night too. Decisions decisions...
I think what bothers me most is the barking. He's really bad about it, we can't leave the room without having him bark when he's in the crate during the day, and if Boris is outside and starts barking, he just starts and it takes ages to stop him. That, and he's always barking at Boris when they play. I tell him enough and he stops, and I give him a treat, but it's not helping, he starts again right away, and when he's barking when I leave the room I don't want him to associate the treat with the bark...
Any advice?
