We adopted a pit bull mix puppy 3 weeks ago. I found her on the street, and brought her home. She stayed outside for about a week. When we decided to bring her in we were convinced that she'd been a housedog before, as she didn't whine in her crate, barked at the door to go out, no accidents for 3 days straight! But now I don't know what to do with this dog! She will always pee when you let her outside, and usually poop too, but then she comes in and poops again! Yesterday she started complaining when put in her crate and has started peeing in there now too. To make matters worse, she's started eating anything we put in the crate, including bedding, so her crate is now just her and a chewie. So, when she pees, she gets soaked! She's been to the vet, everything's okay with her (she's on like 4 meds for mange, tho) and is actually going back tomorrow to be spayed....I'm looking forward to her being gone all day so I don't have to deal with her! I've housebroken MANY puppies, but never one this stubborn! Her crate is just big enough for her to stand and lay in (actually about time for a bigger one). Here's a schedule she's on:
6:30am- outside, breakfast, meds, inside play
7:30am- outside, water, into crate
10:30am-outside, water, inside play
11:30am- outside, water, into crate
2:30am- outside, water, inside play
3:30am- outside, water, into crate
7pm- outside, dinner, meds, inside play
8pm-outside
9pm- outside
10pm- outside, water, crate for night
HELP!
