Need help with pekingese male dog, one year old?

Thanks for all the help. I will try what everyone has been saying, and hopefully it will get better. If not, I guess I’ll seek professional help for him…because he will not be going back to the shelter.

if you have a little spare money, I would invest in an obedience trainer, because, like phrannie said, he is probably having problems because he never had housetraining in the past and is now nearing adulthood. you should as kfor proffesional help if financially possible.

Umm, ok , so if it acts like it may need to go out try to make Jack go out. He might get used to bothering you when he needs to go out so yeh.

Thats a hard problem, keep an eye on him and try to catch him in the act, get a spray bottle maybe (but some dogs like that) If they poop in the house I hear your supposed to put their face in it, but thats too sad… so I don’t know

Take him out after he eats, after he plays and after he sleeps. These are the natural times when dogs need to eliminate. When you let him out of the crate, immediately go outside. Try to go to the same place in the yard so that he associates that area with bathroom duty. You may need to watch him constantly. When he starts sniffing the floor, walking around with his nose down, he’s about to pee. Be diligent with this, because dogs who “can’t” be housetrained are the most frequent type given back to shelters. - L
