HI, TO ALL K9 LOVERS ; OK, My name is Bryant. My family n i just shift to new house. We built a dog house during renovation cos our house is a corner lot. We got a Rottie name Evo 1 month ago from a breeder. The 1st week was HORRIBLE with lots of crying & howling in the middle of the nite. This was cos he poo'ed n pee'ed or maybe cos he was lonely. So i wake up to clean up the mess. Then 1 week later, after discussing with my dad, we decided to get another Rottie name Kaiser to accompany Evo. The crying STOP. However, another NIGHTMARE arise. Every morning when i wake up to feed them, i will b WELCOME with LOTS & LOTS of POO/PEE everywhere in the dog house. Believe me the scenario is BAD ! I don't mind cleaning. BUT we plan to let them out in the garden/compound in the nite in the near future to GUARD our house. This is where my PROBLEM is. I cant seem to train them to POO/PEE at a SPECIFIC SPOT. Newspaper? Forget about it. Tear into pieces. Toilet training drops? Useless & wont work. I even bought those dog repellant crap to avoid discourage them from going to certain location in the garden to bite the plants. Which also didnt work ! Playpen? Ya, this is the only thing that i bought which have "some" result. I normally put them in the playpen once i let them out from their house in the morning n evening. Sometimes they poo/pee, sometimes they don't. I put them in after meals. WAIT & WAIT still nothing. They can hold it for hours. So i will eventually give up n let them out to play awhile. Within minits their out from the playpen, they start "shooting" everywhere in the garden. REALLY HEADACHE~~ The playpen is place at a spot where it is easy 4 me to clean, with a combination of tiles & grass. Yes, i`m willing to sacrifice a small part of the grass. If that is what it takes to train them. But they seem to dig n spoilt the grass instead of poo/pee on it. I would very much like to have them roam freely in the garden instead of caging them in their house most of the time. But i`m worried about the carpet grass & plants. Thats all. Which is why i would really APPRECIATE any feedbacks/workable tips from all u K9 lovers on how to solve my PROBLEM, especially on how to train them to "go" to that specific spot to poo/pee. I`m a TRUE K9 lover. Thanks~~~ P/S : I've Quit my job to dedicate my full attention to my Rotties for at least 1st few months of their life for training purposes & health issues.
