I know exactly what you guys are thinking. ' Yet an other person who can't house train their puppy '. But trust me and take time to read this, it's a very particular case.
First off, I'd like to introduce myself regarding this situation and how it came to be. I own a dog center ( board and train, regular boarding and grooming ). Being a professional dog trainer I've seen my fair share of owner complaining about their ' impossible ' to potty train puppies. Of course, every time I had no problem showing them what they did wrong and giving them solution ( or training the dog myself in boarding for most cases ) to make the dog house trained. But this time is different.
I found an abandoned puppy, mixed breed ( husky/gshep/lab? ), 2 months old. First thing I noticed was that she was sick. Diarrhea, very smelly urine, poor coat condition. Brought her to a vet, got her de-wormed, vaccines and on a special diet + antibiotics. She pooped and peed on me, at the vet also, in the car also.. I bring her home, same thing. I put up a diaper on her since I just thought she was so sick she couldn't hold it in since she literally walked around, played, and it was just falling out/dripping out. She never squatted or held a pee/poo position. It justs falls as she does her normal stuff. Now for the night I put her in a crate.
Morning comes, cage is not soiled. No poo or pee. I open the door, bam she does all of that on the floor. I was actually happy, I was like ' Thank god she can actually hold it in ! '. Turns out it was the beginning of a nightmare.
I brought her outside in a kennel for over 10 hours ( literally. ). No poo. Or pee. As soon as I bring her in, all hell breaks loose she does all of it on the ground, walking around like nothing, poops falling out of her anus and pee dripping from her vulva. I go back outside with her, bring her for a walk, we walk around 1h20, no poo or pee. As soon as indoors.. bam again. At this point it's getting late and I'm exausted, back in the kennel.
The day after, still clean cage. I try to pick her up to bring her outside so she can't touch the floor, she poo/pee on me before I even can take her out. I feed her outside, leave her out in a kennel.. guess what? 5 hours later still nothing. It started to rain so I had no choice than to bring her in... which of course led to her peeing/pooping everywhere while walking around.
I've had her for 4 days. I tried everything.
I leashed her on me 24/7, brought her outside every 10 minute, staying outside for hours with her, bringing her for walk on and off leash, bringing her where other dogs have pooed, bringing HER poo and kleenex filled with HER pee outside, waiting at the same place, hiding, playing outside, strict water and food schedule, crate.. I'm out of idea and I'm near my breaking point.
I'm tired of washing her cause somehow the poo stucks under her tail, I'm tired of cleaning up pee and poo everywhere. I just want her to go outside ONCE.
Any idea?
Please no negative comments, I'm exausted I don't mean for any of this to sound rude
