Edward is about 4.5 months old and he's a fast learner! He's a Pembroke. I got him about two months ago and he was not potty trained. At first, he would pee and poop in his crate (he would also eat his poop) but I got some tips from other MyCorgi.com discussions. I reduced the size of his crate area and BAM! No more poop eating! He still pees sometimes in his crate, but I don't have too much of a problem with that because its not as constant.
My problem is that he will pee in the house even thought I discipline him the same way I did with the pooping in the house. He never poops in the house and always holds it until hes outside. He also knows he can pee and poop on my balcony and I will leave the door open. Sometimes he will utilize this and actually walk to the door and wait to be let out or he'll walk out an open door and pee on the balcony. However, there are times he will just pee inside at his own will. I can't seem to get him to differentiate from peeing inside vs outside. I treat him everytime he pees and poops outside and I scold him/spank his bottom when he pees inside.
I tied a bell string to my door today to try out the "bell" trick so he can ring the bell when he needs to go out. Any tips for stopping your Corgi pup from peeing inside??! So far every tip I've gotten has worked! I keep getting bad pet stains even though I scrub like a mad-man. Anyone know if the Bissell SpotBots are successful?
