10 week old puppy has started chewing up his pee pad during the day.
The dog is a shar pei mix and he was just starting to get good at
using his pee pad during the day when he is alone. Now he has started chewing it up and then there is huge mess when we get home. Any clever solutions? Thanks |

Now he has started chewing it up and then there is huge mess when we get home. Any clever solutions? Thanks Exactly how long is this baby puppy being left alone? That sounds like he's lonely and bored, and playing with what he's got to hand. 10 weeks old is FAR too young for a dog to be isolated all day. And you'll not get him housebroken if somebody isn't letting him out to pee at appropriate times during the day, rather than teaching him it's ok to pee on items on the floor... IOW, my suggestion to you is to either arrange to go home in the middle of the day, or get a dogwalker. |

ups.com... The dog is a shar pei mix and he was just starting to get good at using his pee pad during the day when he is alone. Now he has started chewing it up and then there is huge mess when we get home. Any clever solutions? Thanks One of my favorite breeds, the Shar Pei. Do you know what he's mixed with? Got pictures? :-). Is it possible for you to have someone come during the day and let him out, so he doesn't have to "hold it" more than 3 hours at this point? Or maybe you can go home for lunch and take him out? The Shar Pei in my experience is the easiest breed to housebreak, as long as they can get outside in time. They naturally have a strong aversion to messing where they live. But at this point in your puppy's life, he doesn't have the muscle control or maturity to "hold it" for very long. Give your dog an appropriate chew toy or two (not rawhide). And see if you can put him in a large puppy pen instead of a crate so that he is safely confined, but doesn't have to live practically on top of his elimination area (pee pad). flick 100785 |
