I wonder if you could offer some advice.
My sister has just gone and got herself a dalmation puppy who is 8 weeks old and while is adorable, she is having real problems house training him. She got him from some dodgy person and the dogs all lived out in the back yard. She has been told off for being so silly, she thought she was rescuing the dog and i know her heart is in the right place.
The main problem is that he is obvioulsy used to going whenever and wherever he likes, i have tried telling her to do it the normal way with a pup, with puppy mats and a cage but he hates the cage and howls for hours. When he is out on the garden he will go but then thinks nothing of going back into the house and going again.
She is doing the nice approach and i have told her not to smack him etc, does anybody have any tips.
I think it is getting to the point where he is starting to drive her a little bit crazy :(
