thanks for your advice. Ill try it and keep everyone informed. What suggestions do you have if they pee in the house. same thing- crate for few minutes or should I put her outside for a bit. she knows you pee outside. plus she won't go off the deck half the time so she pees and poops on the deck. its a hassle cleaning it. anything I can do there?
I'm sensing you are very confused. Exhale little mama. This is your dog and you want her to trust you. she has some issues but none that can't be improved upon. She seems to be very unsure of what you want from her. and she's liking the attention. I assume you have snuggle time with her. That's very important for the trust. Consistency is another form of trust, she'll know what she can expect from you. I believe if you back off on questioning yourself and control your reaction when she pees on the floor, just take her out immediately to the spot you want her to go at. take some time when no one is around and teach her to drop things . Make it a game. give her a toy of her's , sit with her , hold a treat and tell her to drop it. get the treat closer to her and when she drops the toy tell her good girl and really praise her. now give her the treat and a hug, do this about 4 times a day. it will only take a few minutes. but it will instill her the trust you share. do for her and yourself. let me know how you make out , it's worth a shot
