Hey there folks.
I'm the proud new pap of a 9 week old male newf. He's a wonderful lad, and he's fitting into the family wonderfully.
The problem: for the first couple days, there was no accidents. We crate him when we're not there, and take him outside hourly when we are there. He does his business outside, and when he does, we use the term 'hurry up' before and during, then lavish him with praise and a small treat. For 2 days, no problems. Now, he's peeing on the carpets, once RIGHT after we brought him inside after he'd pee'd on the lawn.
I've housebroken a labrador before, and it was no problem at all. 'Angus' seems to not understand our intentions, and is more of a challenge. Any suggestions?
Cheers!
