I'm not sure what exactly I should be doing, whether it is me or Luca!!
He's really good in that he won't poo or wee in the crate, comes out to do so. We woke up at the same times this morning- 1am and 5am. I took him outside and I'm patient and wait and use key phrases, he cries and shivers and just will not go. Bring him in and then he goes!
Every 20 mins in the day and 10 mins after food/drink/etc I take him out and again, he cries, shivers and won't go. This morning at 7.30am I (Luca!) had a successful outside poo! But I'd been out there for 20 minutes and the way he was crying you'd think I was making him do something awful!
Had the same after second meal, took him out and he was crying and shivering etc and just would not go. Come in and still hasn't gone, he ate an hour ago now. Surely he needs to poo!!
Do I just need to keep taking him out to get him used to being outside, I just don't want him to think we can spend ages outside then go when we come in. It doesn't help that it's wet outside either! Poor little thing!
Any ideas??!!!
Many thanks in advance! Otherwise, all is positive so far! I've been able to have a shower with no problems and he gets in his crate fine, and he sleeps in it all night (apart from the toilet).
