Lady Day Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Hello, My sister got sick and we had to take her dog. He's 2 years old and not potty train. It's been several months now. We take him out twice a day and so far nothing. He does his mess anywhere and it's so annoying. Unfortunately, my sister passed away. So, now we have 2 dogs and this one is a piece of work. Can someone give me some advice or suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniegirl Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Hi..I am going thru it with a 4 month old. I am having some success but it is work no doubt about it. We take him out every 1/2 hour to hour and say "time for pee pee and he gets a reward for his efforts if he does his thing. I actually set an alarm. He does not get run of the place. We watch him like crazy and he gets crated when we go out. But not for too long. It is work for sure. I am told it will happen and the penny will drop eventually, Cairns are very smart. I would read as much info as you can about house breaking a puppy and go with that. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogcoat lady Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I think male terriers are a tough “retrain”. I would recommend a huge dose of patience, calmness and the assistance of a belly band. Sorry about your sister. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Day Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 Thank you Dogcat lady! I know I have to have a lot of patience with him. On top of all this he's also a smart dog. So, I guess in time he will make mama and papa proud. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anniegirl Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 are things improving a bit I hope? My new little boy will do his stuff outside. But also... inside too. I don't understand it but we have been doing this for 6 weeks now. Maybe I am expecting too much. Good luck to you and I hope things will get better....

Lady Day Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 One day I was checking my camera and seen him pee on the pad. But, we have a long way to go I believe. Good luck to you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
