He is now 6 months old and the sweetest dog. I am like you, his care taker. It was really frustrating at first, and after about 2 weeks I was ready to give up. But I loved him and he soooo cute. I started to crate train him from day one. It was a learning experience. He messed in his crate just once in the very beginning. Now he can stay in the crate for 7 hours over night and does not pee in it. He also knows now that he can only "go" outside. He has not had an accident in about 2 weeks now. I am so proud of him. I can suggest that patience will pay off as it will get easier. We are going through the same thing! Good luck with your puppy (mine is named Jackson). He really is a bundle of joy!Bristolvolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176684422419228152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696627088548181997.post-61014201715328745962011-07-25T16:36:13.025-07:002011-07-25T16:36:13.025-07:00How old is the puppy?

I adopted a dog last year and assumed she was around 2 years old...she was not housebroken and it was awful. I took her outside and made her stay for about ten minutes. If she didn't go I'd take her out again in another 20 minutes. If she did go, I'd do the happy dance, praise her and give her a treat. It was tedious and frustrating but it eventually sunk into her sweet little doggy brain. <br /><br />I hate money issues, I am handling Kev's money now that he sold his car, but he's in jail so it's fairly easy at this point :)<br /><br />I hope your dad is okay, let us know!Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.com
