Charlie HATES going outside or in his crate! Everytime I am about to take him out he RUNS from me and goes under the kitchen table so i cant "get him"!!!!!! Then after i DRAG him outside to let him go pee he RUNS back to the door?? I have never had a dog that didnt want to go outside. Also, He is very hesitant to come in my bedroom because he thinks he has to go in his crate. He does not whine when he is in there but i have to push him in. I tried working with him during "training time" by putting a treat in the back of the crate and letting him go in a get it and then praising him when he goes in but when bed time comes he still fights with me and i have to carry him in my room!!!!!!!


Any suggestions?? :roll:

Thanks alot! I think I will start training outside instead of inside because he gets really excited and loves to train (ONLY BECAUSE HE GETS TREATS, HE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A TREAT!). Charlie is 4 months!

My schnauzer also growls at random stuff.. like when my neighbor is outside cutting grass at the crack of dawn :shock:
It is really annoying to take her for a walk or just outside to go to the bathroom at all because she barks and growls at NOTHING! She is 7 though..
Shes my baby though, so what can you say :mrgreen:

He doesnt act afraid but I mean I open the door and he wont even get up.. he jsut lays there and then i call him and say "lets go outside" or "lets go potty" and he goes and lays under the table :roll:

He has actually been going outside okay today, but im not sure how long that will last! I also noticed that when I wake up in the morning i just let him out in the backyard and then go get ready but i have noticed that he wont go to the bathroom most times, he just sits by the door unless i am out there and i walk out in the yard with him.. so now i have just been letting him and my schnauzer out front and i watch him and make sure he goes (my schnauzer is housebroken so i dont worry if she goes or not)..


What did you do with Leno at night without a crate? Charlie would chew up everything.. I fell asleep one night and forgot he was in the bed with me and I woke up in the middle of the night to find a chewed up phone charger and PS2 controller cord... :evil:

 

[CHARLIE_DOODLE]

yeah that is how i usually do it..
When i praise him.. how should i go about that! I mean when he pees i say "GOOD BOY!!!!!!! GOOD POTTY!!!!" but should i pet him and stuff too? I cant get to crazy will it because then he wont finish!!!


CONFUSINNNNNG!

 

[CHARLIE_DOODLE]

YEAH! That is so true.. Charlie is to small, sweet, and lazy for that just yet! I am also a hard sleeper though, so i know how you feel!


But the way, my schnauzer is the gaurd dog around here :lol:
If she doesnt know you and we say "get em" or if you act mean towards me she will show her teeth and bark or even run after you if you aggrivate her! Oh do i love her! She is very funny and VERY loyal to me! We dont encourage that behavior to much though!

He does lay around in my room in the evening while we are watching TV.. either on my bed or on this rug at the end of it.. it would NEVER go in there by himself just to lay



Im still working on it though.. he has gotten to where he will go outside when i call now though..YAY!
