How to potty train puppy mill puppy?
My puppy was in a pet store, probably came from a puppy mill. She was in a kennel at the store for 5 months. Before I bought her. When I put her in a crate she poos. She lived in a pet store kennel with poo and pee falling below through grates. I closed off an area with puppy pads. We she sometimes used the pad but then tracked it all over the remaining area or just tore up the pad and then I had to clean clean clean to get the dried poo off the floor and the wall if she jumped up. I am at wits end. I am back to the crate. Somehow she managed to drop a poo outside(which was OK at least she wasn't it tracking it all over), but then she pooed in the mat bed used because she peed in the bigger fluffy bed. Now I have once again reduced the size of the crate and put a small bed in it. I think she done OK today but everyday has its own dilemma. I am running home at lunch with barely enough time to take her out(which usually does not produce any results, she mostly wants a drink so I reduced the amount of water, and I barely make it back on time. Considering tethering her to table leg with only about 12" to 24". Am afraid she will somehow hang herself. Help! I will say this"DO NOT BUY PUPPIES FROM A PET STORE, DO NOT BUY PUPPIES FROM UNCLE BILLS PET STORE" I am sure she is puppy mill and the longer they are at the store the harder it evidently is going to be. They wonder where the dogs come from at the ASPCA. I'm guessing unsuspecting idiots like myself who after a lengthy time just give up and surrender the dog over before they lose their own sanity. Would love any advice!!
