Housebreaking

*sigh* It's been kinda disappointing when housebreaking the dog. He's had 3 accidents now, not including 2 other times he tinkled in his kennel (on the cushion mat). We've decided not to use the mat since it absorbs the pee. I'm guessing it'll take a couples weeks to a month to get better results. It's been a discouraging 3 days ( Read more... )

nope nope. he's actually very obedient and very friendly to strangers. he learned to sit in 2 days. Plus he fetches! He loved the dog park last night and fetched the tennis ball and brought it back. But yah, he doesn't like others dogs. I've read it's part of the Jack Russell trait. But I've been trying to calm him and correct him every time he does growl at other dogs.

i actually figured out why he's been peeing. Recently it's been submissive peeing...when Viet gives Turbo a hard look...Turbo crouches down and does he submissive deed to the alpha male. But it's workable...I've been reading online and books. i've been kennel training him so housebreaking training is doing better. He's on his schedule so he immediately knows what's happening. He actually walked into his kennel this morning with a sad look when Viet was putting his work clothes. Turbo is so smart. He tilts his head when you talk to him.
