persephone Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 :) ignore him when you greet him .. just say "hello XYZ" in passing .... save pats etc for when he is sitting/lying down / is obeying you ;) don't use a high pitched "babytalk" voice .... :) it is pretty normal ..and takes management to help him .

lynkev Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 thank you - is it a male puppy thing.... we also have a female samoyed who is 20wks old and within 2 days of having her she would go to the door when she wanted to go to the toilet - the male puppy ( which we did everything the same as for the female) is a shocker - he wees inside all the time and sometimes poos too..... just wondering also is it harder or longer to train a male puppy ?

Bjelkier Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 It's usually taken my samoued girls longer to train than the boys. It's just individual to the dog. He will stop. One of my sammys used to do it and he stopped eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff'n'Toller Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The thing to bear in mind is that it is more of a greeting ritual problem than a toilet training problem. It's extremely important that everyone follows the suggestions by persephone and make your arrivals/greetings ultra calm or this behaviour can continue into adulthood. You might like to add a quick march outside as you say hello to him, to aid with toilet training. :) Also visitors to the home should be welcomed inside and pre-warned that they need to calm, THEN introduce him, you'll have more of a chance that way.

wuffles Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yes it's normal. One of mine has done it and a number of my friends' dogs did the same thing. My puppy seems to have grown out of it at 6 months old (touch wood), he still gets very excited but the wee seems to have stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
