If you saw the shelter you wouldn't be surprised. It was disgusting. And WAY overcrowded.

Pam111 · Jul 21, 2008

I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised since I've also never found a shelter where you could just walk in and get a dog that day. I've only ever been to places that require quite a lot of paperwork and background checking and then you have to wait to take the animal home. Oh well, good thing he is out of there!

was anxious to see the updates today--glad to hear he is still doing well. Did he keep his crate clean during the night?

He still marks while in the crate, so the pee just goes out onto the floor. I thought he might, which is why we put the crate in the basement. I'm not sure, but maybe an all plastic crate just big enough for him might help with this?

He is doing much better today, though. He still has his leash on, but I'm not holding him. He laid down on the floor next to my bed and went to sleep instead of running around the room looking for things to mark. Also, he has come back to me every single time I have called him when he started sniffing.

ok--I have a plastic crate that I had used for Baxter--so that should work. I have been trying to figure out where I wanted to put it--so that's helpful info.

Bax- I bet it will be OK. Both Uncle Fred and Mini were unhousebroken when I got them, and they did fine. It didn't even take very long.

Baxter'smybaby · Jul 21, 2008

thanks Drmom--I am hopeful that we will get it under control--especially after he gets neutered. Especially if he seems to be a boy who wants to please his peoples!!

When did you get him? I missed something....

But OMG he is adorable!

It took 4 months for my big dog to stop marking after fixing.

Thanks Bax

Bax, you might want to look into a belly band.

And CONGRATULATIONS!!!

*throws confetti*

Baxter'smybaby · Jul 21, 2008

yeah--I thought about a belly band....do they sell them in the pet store?

I just looked and there are some on Petsmart's website, so they should have them at the store, too

Pam111 · Jul 21, 2008

He's had a bath now and he doesn't smell anymore

He was well-behaved in the tub. I cleaned his ears after the bath, too.

I was just looking there too--think I may pick up one or two...
and OMG--that face --he looks so sad to be clean! LOL!

Middie had this issue too - set up a neuter appt NOW so it will be as soon as possible. Once he gets neutered, the desire to mark will wane and housebreaking will be easy. He sounds a lot better than Middie was, though.
