[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 565969, member: 1514"] Im glad you found a good solution. Honestly if I didnt own my own place, I would probably have to do the same thing. I will be darned if I know why I cant house break a dog. I try like all get out but Abby just wont train. Oh I can get her to sit and lay down but potty outside? Forget it. Now she is even missing the puppy pads and I have three of them put down at a time! I think that is because she is so large and simply doesnt get where her butt it. She puts a paw on the pad and figures all is good. My living room carpet is ruined. That isnt the worse part because it was pretty bad beforehand anyway but I am cleaning up dog poop every day and it stinks. Im tired of doing it. I mean I leave her out on a chain for most of the day and one would think she would do her business then but no, she waits until she is inside. How I dont know either. I watch her at night religiously and she goes in her crate all night long. Tony lets her out at 4 am to do her business then she comes back in. I think its happening when he lets her run loose from about 5 am till 8 am in the morning. But heaven knows why that is her time. She has 21 other hours in the day. After Xmas we are putting up a fence in the yard to give her a big area to play. I think she is simply outgrowing staying in the house. We are going to let her have the ability to go under the house to keep warm and dry but have a big play yard but she will only come in the house from the back door. The gate will be at the side of the house so no one can open it and let her loose. We are just going to lock it with a padlock. I think part of her issues are boredom. [/QUOTE]
