My Chihuahua is Impossible to Housebreak!
I need some practical advice on housebreaking my Chihuahua. I have tried everything. She is about 6 months old and we have had her for about 4 months. Nothing is working. She sleeps in a kennel. She poops and pees all over it even when we take her out 5-6 times a day. She will whine if it gets too messy, but now I wake up every morning to a kennel full of poop. We take her out in the morning when she wakes up. We feed her soon after and take her out again in about an hour. Most of the time she will pee outside and she does poop outside but very inconsistently. I just don't know what to do. Should I try a litter box since it seems like she needs to go more than we can humanly take care of. I really am frustrated now. She is staying in the kennel most of the time because we have a new apartment and we just can't trust her not to use the bathroom everywhere. I don't want to spank or hold my puppy down. I don't want to mistreat her. I just want her trained so that we can enjoy her. Please help! :(
