I'm really sorry to start yet another thread about toileting but Archie is nearly 6.5 months old and I've now been fighting the battle of toileting inside for nearly 18 weeks
From day one, I could not get the little
to either use paper or go outside. I quickly abandoned the paper but even though he's always been taken out every 20-30 mins (and currently every time I leave my chair - he lies at my feet), he continues to use my house as a bathroom (many different spots, not just one area).
His main problems are still eating grass and chasing leaves. To cap it all, he HATES rain and refuses to do anything outside when it's wet.
I've just come back from a lovely walk, kept him in garden before going indoors. He managed a wee then wanted to come inside. During the time I took my shoes off, he'd done a poo in the hallway
This is a daily occurrence, I know when he does his no. 2's so keep him outside for as long as possible but I just can't stay outside forever and inevitably, he'll come back in and the minute my back is turned, out it plops
I wanted to use a petsitter in April when I visit my sister in Scotland but they told me he really needed to be reliably housetrained so he's booked into kennels for the first time.
I am so disheartened, I have put so much effort into this (as I'd already been though it with my Odie) but I must go outside with him around 30+ times a day.....
Surely at this age, he should not still be doing this on such a regular basis (although I realise the odd accident is inevitable). I can't see what more I can do with him, he understands the toilet words I use as he bounds to the front door.
