Sick of same old answers about Chihuahua peeing
I have a SEVEN year old chi. I have done ALL the things suggested in these forums... vets, crates, paper training, praise, taking him out 7 times a day, treats, praise, neutering, pee pads, everything.
As I read some of these "answers" they even have an attitude toward people who post questions about chihuahua's like they are a bunch of dummies. I know dam well they aren't expert or know what the hill they are talking about! It's obvious they have never owned a chihuahua; and the superior tone is aggravating when people have a very real problem.
I have tried SCOE 10 X. Doesn't work, forget the guarantee.
I am convinced that chihuahua's simply have a problem with this. As a renter, I have lost $3,000 in deposits over the years. I am really and truly ready to give him away, as heartbreaking as it would be. He has peed on my $600 wool rug and that is the last straw.
I love my dog - I would miss him terribly but I went over my apt. with a black light and he has sprayed my PB sofa, wool rugs, carpet, you name it.
He is now in an elasticized belly band that he manages to wiggle out of when I'm not around. The next step is to simply lock him in my small bathroom while I'm gone and I will be doing that from today forward. I'm heartbroken over my wool rugs; but I'm more heartbroken over possibly having to give my dog away.
If the belly band while I can see him, plus locking him in the bathroom when I can't, doesn't work, the next step is to give him away to a family with wood floors.
But at 7yrs old, I am his world and I don't think I could sleep at night worrying about him.
Heartsick and just plan sick of it. If I had known this, I never, ever would have gotten this dog.
If anyone has another suggestion, I'm open to anything. Thanks.
