I have an 18 week old b/t male puppy. He comes to work with me & my other Cav during the day and is very well behaved there. I've had him about 6 weeks now.
However, when we get home his potty training skills go out the window! He literally pees on my living room rug at least once a day. Sometimes he does it after 30 minutes of peeing outside. I am beside myself. I also have a 2 YO son, and my mind is more focused on my son than my puppy when I'm home and that accounts for sometimes not taking him out as much as I do when we're at work.
However, shouldn't he be learning to hold it at this point? He holds it all night in his crate until 7:30am!
I think I'm a bad potty trainer, because my 5 YO tri female was 2 before she stopped having any accidents at all in the house. She's perfect now. Do Cavs just take longer to learn or mature than other dogs?
Everyone will probably say I need to crate him if I can't keep my eyes on him constantly, but I had this same problem with my female~ he HATES going in the crate during the day! I don't get it. At night, he has no problem and goes in by himself willingly. But he will scream and cry if I put him in during the day and my son runs in and opens the crate and then I just lose the battle.
HELP!
