Hi all,
i have 8 month old beaglier that I've had for about 4 months now. Considering she's Half beagle she hasn't been to bad to train except for the potty training now that has been a nightmare! My partner and I live in a apartment so unfortunately the potty training will obviously be a little harder. The first two months she'd basically relieve herself around the apartment even tho I'd be taking her down stairs quite abit during the day. Anyway since then I've placed a fake grass pee pad outside on the balcony for her. Which she has been using ... sometimes the rest of the time she's just basically peeing on the tiles outside on the balcony. Which felt like a win about a month ago.. but now I'm daily washing the tiles before I go to work so they balcony doesn't stink. I've been waking up at 5:30 every morning and running her down to the front of apartment so she can relieve herself. To try and train her to well hold it till she goes on walks/ gets her ust to using grass. Unfortunately I've had a few scares the last few times I've run her down to grass area in front of the apartment . The area we live in well isn't exactly the safest area to be walking around in the dark.
The other residents with dogs in our complex have successfully trained there dogs to either hold there business till they go on walks. Or they only pee on there grass pads and poo on walks. Which would be awesome! my little puppy has no issues peeing outside but I'll take her for nearly 2 hour walk. And she'll hold the poos in till we get back to the apartment. So frustrating! Umm extra info during the day to stop her from destroying the apartment while we are at work we lock her in the bathroom where she pees in the bathtub... gross but let's face it easiest to clean. This is only a short term till we can trust her not to Destroy and urinate everywhere.
Please help!!
