So frustrated, Can't properly house break my dog because he has a disease. What to do? General Dog Discussions
So my 5 month old male maltese started to get sick and the vet thinks it could be parvo (even though he has his shots) , not entirely sure yet. Doctor said for now to keep him in the apartment so no other dogs can catch the disease. The problem is, I just got him like 2 weeks ago and is not house broken. He pees and poos all over my apartment and i really would like to take him outside to properly housebreak him but I can't because of his sickness. I am currently using those pee pads but he only goes on them sometimes, most of the time he'll just go pee/poo on the floor. I always pick him up when he makes mess on the floor and put him on the pad and praise him when he does go on the pad but he just doesn't seem to understand. Please help I am so frustrated because of this and his sickness. I feel like giving up on him but I know I shouldn't. I also can't monitor him 24/7 because I do go to school, so he's in his crate when I'm not home. Please please help I'm at the end of my rope here
