New Vizsla Pup
Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2009 2:45 pm
I recently added (4 weeks ago) another Vizsla pup. He is 11 weeks old today. Compared to my First V, (who is now 2) this little guy is totally failing in the potty training dept. If Levi got an A, this guy sure seems to be failing. Anyway, I am hoping that some of you have had similar experiences and may be able to remind me of some things to help him along.
-I am using a crate, he sleeps in it at night, and spends much of his time during the day in a crate as well.
-He will urinate in his crate. And not just a little bit, sometimes he is swimming in it when I go to get him.
-I am not allowing him free access to water, I offer it to him a few times a day.
-I recently started feeding him in his crate also, to try and decrease the accidents that happen inside.
-If he urinates in the house, I take him outside immediately - he pees some more. 5 minutes later he will pee inside again. This doesn't happen all the time, but it happens regularly.
-The periodic (yet regular) urination in a short period of time has gotten bad enough that I had lab tests done at the Vet and everything was fine.
-I have had numerous chances to catch him in the act, and when scolded it is obvious that he is realizing that he just screwed up. Or he at least shows evidence of realizing that he is in trouble.
Thanks!
