My sisters dogs are driving me NUTS!! Milo and Otis are two yorkshire mixes that my sister picked up from the pound. The original owner was forced to surrender them to avoid prosecution. Both dogs were a MESS when we got them. We had them shaved down tot he skin, got their shots, had vet checks done and settled down to trying to crate train and housbreak these two guys.
Well that was last October, as in 5 MONTHS ago. Took some convincing but both dogs now trust me and my sister (They are both still wary of my husband and kids) Both dogs understand the Crate, sleep in the crate, stay in the crate most of the day.......problem is, the dogs CAN'T come out of the crate in the house. They flat refuse to be potty trained. We take them outside, they pee...Good dog! They come in the house, they pee Bad Dog! and back out they go. (Don't worry we do know better than to hit them). I'm sure it's not an "Accident" as the back door can be hanging open and they will go out of their way to try to escape the line of vision of whomever is watching and pee or crap in the house. Yesterday both dogs were in the kitchen with my sister. Niether dog left the room. Good right? Nope, she stood up and discoverd TWO puddles of pee under her chair!
I'm at my wits end. They are driving me nuts, and I know my husband is losing his sence of humour with these dogs. I can't leave them outside all the time, they are little dogs and cold weather and extreme heat (this summer, we live in the desert) will kill them. I can't leave them in thier crate all the time, they whine and my sister lets them out (She intends to watch them, but somehow they pee in the house anyway).
Now what! Help!
