Well we had a few really good days with Dean and doing his business. Yesterday it all fell apart. He managed to not only pee but also poop in the house. Then last night I woke at 4:00am to find him soaking wet! The next time I let him out was 7:00am he was dry and did his business as expected.
The good news is that he is going on command very well for everybody in the house. The problem is that we are back to accidents that seem to come out of nowhere. That unpredictability is the hard part.
Is it stress? Is there a physical problem? Am I worried over nothing? Perhaps.
He is doing well other than the business side of things. He is into chewing ALOT. We do our best to keep his toys close by and to keep our fingers and toes inside the ride at all times. He has some predictable behaviors such as waking from his naps and making a beeline for the water bowl. He also becomes VERY attentive when he hears Ethan lifting the lid to the food container.
Other areas we are working on are relaxing when we handle him for grooming or simply to calm down. He is still a puppy and its difficult to get his attention without his energy getting in the way, unless he is sleeping.
