My boy is from a championship bloodline too. As far as the taking a piss and poop in the house.........you are going to have to kennel train him first. I know you may think it's cruel to keep him in the kennel for the first two weeks but it will all be worth it in the end. Unfortunatley having a puppy is like having a baby (I think). Some people get lucky with pups on being potty trained but there are some others that are just damn stubborn. I had to kennel my dog for the first two weeks when we got him. He was on a schedule. This isn't to the tee but somewhat similar to what we did.
7 am - straigh out of the kennel, go outside and watch him do his business. If so praise
*If not then bring him right back into the kennel and back out for another try
-After he's done his business, feed and water, and back out if possible
-About a hours worth of play time and one last time outside before he goes in the kennel
*Always make sure you praise him dearly after he's done his business so he knows it's a good thing to go pee and poop outside
11am - Straight out of kennel, go outside and watch him do his business. If so praise
*If not then bring him right back into the kennel and back out for another try
-If he did his business earlier then you can have some time for play
-But then right back in the kennel
3pm - Same thing as 7 and 11
6/7pm - Same thing as 7, 11, 3, and then it's time to feed him and then straight outside
-If all goes well then play time for maybe an 1hr or 2 and then back in the kennel
10/11pm - Same thing as 7, 11, 3, you get the gist of it. Right? The only thing he'll be doing now is doing his business and maybe a little play time and back in his kennel.
3/4am - Take him out to do business (don't forget to praise) and back in the kennel.
7am - allllllllllll over again.
I do hope that you have some time set aside (i.e. xmas vacation) to do this. If not you are going to come home with either piss/poop all over your house or piss/poop in the kennel. Either way it's going to happen.
<font color="red"> Important thing is that the kennel is not too big for him</font> Dogs don't normally do their business where they live/sleep unless the kennel is too big.
Ok I've tried to give you my best advice. There will be alot of crying/whimpering in the beginning but he'll learn. Give him a bone in his kennel to keep him busy. I'd stay away from rawhide. :grin:
[/ QUOTE ]I have a 3X4 or so plastic tub that i'm keeping him in. It ain't working, today when i got up he had brown cream all over his butt. I had to take him outside in 30 degree weather and wash him. What to do if he just dumps one in the crate?
