Question by x !! Me !! x: Calling ALL dog ‘experts’ – really need help?
My 2 yr old corgi is a nightmare and i need help with the following. His behaviour has completely changed:
When he was a puppy we trained him to keep off our decking due to him peeing and pooing everywhere, and as the kids play there it was obviously not good. However, over the past 2 weeks he has suddenly ‘forgotten’ that he is not allowed on this.
He keeps coming on it and doing his business everywhere…
we have tried firmly ‘NO’… doesnt work.
We tied him onto his kennel for short periods but he chews through whatever we tie him with… (including 4 leashes)
We bought a ‘time out’ pen, which has no base so he pushed the pen over to the grass and tried to dig his way out, resulting in our grass being ruined…
We now purchased a cage with a base and he continually breaks out of it, so we secured the end in which he breaks out. He cant get out…
we leave him in this for 10 minutes at a time and let him out only for him to run straight past us and onto the decking?
He is like a dog possessed just now and i feel i have tried everything.
Any answers will be appreciated.
Please note we only leave him in this for 10 mins, then let him out, when he goes on decking, we put him back in.
Oh and the other day he tried to escape and jammed him nose!!
We are going to put a gate up this weekend. But i made a ‘gate’ by jamming his pen into it, and he squeezed throught a hole so we put things all round it to stop him coming up but he eventually get up. He is only ever out the back several times a day and when he is in the house he is loved and played with.
Can I just say he goes for two 30 minute walks per day, sometimes more. He doesn’t really pee on the decking, more spraying. Its the simple fact he walks on the decking and he has even started chewing the stair on it
