Lara in Colo Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 and then the puppy peed. **sigh** Please tell me that one accident a week is pretty good for a 5.5 month old puppy. He just doesn't tell me. No warning. If I get a little bit distracted --bam-- pee. He barks if he needs to poo. What am I doing wrong??

Mommyfaithe Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Awwww....he is a baby....babies pee. I would just make sure if I was distracted, I would confine puppy. I used to use a Rubbermaid tub....kept puppy close to me, But also confined to one area. As soon as I was done with my chore....we would go outside....repeat ad nauseum...:D. They do get it eventually:D Eta: sorry about your laundry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacie Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Our 5 month old puppies still have some accidents, almost always pee. PP: I hope you don't take any offense, but I :lol: at the thought of confining ours in a Rubbermaid bucket... our pups are 56 and 35 pounds! OP: be patient, they are just puppies.

I don't know the weight of mine, but DD measured him at 68" tip to tail and 28" chest. He is in the BIG BOY crate at night.:D still the pee thing----grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

alpidarkomama Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Same thing happened w/my 6-month-old puppy today. This morning I was pondering his 2-week lack of accidents, when I heard two very excited children race into the room and announce that he had just peed on the trundle bed. Of course, earlier that morning I had removed ALL the sheets to wash them. :glare: Seems pretty normal to me! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 My 10 month old peed today. He rarely ever does. 5.5 is stll really young. I think he's doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plucky Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Can you take him out every hour or have a kid do it? Also, kennel him if he can't be watched. Oh, my 4 year old pug just snuck into the living room and pooped on the "indoor lawn." Some breeds are harder than others. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was next to both myself and DD12. He just sort of sat up and wandered (he is tethered to my desk) and I told him to get back to his place, he did, then a minute later he got up, walked to the end of his tether and peed.
