I have a two year old toy poodle who was potty trained until the
neighbor got a big dog next door. Now "Sam" goes outside when I take
him out, but in the house as well. I also have an older 8 year old
poodle who has no problems. Sam often follows my older dog and will go
in the same spot outside. However Sam is going inside now as well.
How do I retrain Sam? I think crate training might not be a good idea
if he's sitting in a crate while my older dog is free to roam around
the house. I live in a condo so there really isn't too many options
outside as far as relocating their area to relieve themselves. I take
them both out only when the neighbor's big dog is not around because I
don't want Sam to feel scared. I've read some of the other threads
about potty training and I have been following through on the basics.
1. Diligently watching him. 2. Being consistent. 3.Keeping to a
schedule. 4.Saying "No" during the act, but not after (not to confuse
him). I just don't know what to do because of the neighbor's dog and
if there is anything I should be doing differently because I have
another trained dog in the home.
